Merge branch 'idle-release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-idle-2.6

* 'idle-release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-idle-2.6:
  intel_idle: native hardware cpuidle driver for latest Intel processors
  ACPI: acpi_idle: touch TS_POLLING only in the non-MWAIT case
  acpi_pad: uses MONITOR/MWAIT, so it doesn't need to clear TS_POLLING
  sched: clarify commment for TS_POLLING
  ACPI: allow a native cpuidle driver to displace ACPI
  cpuidle: make cpuidle_curr_driver static
  cpuidle: add cpuidle_unregister_driver() error check
  cpuidle: fail to register if !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE
