Hi Andriy!

I tried your last patch and it fixed a page fault I had since r243404 (I
couldn't investigate the problem before this week-end).

This page fault corresponds to the point #2 of your patch ("avoid race
acpi_cpu_cx_cst and acpi_cpu_idle"). In my case, acpi_cpu_cx_cst is
triggered every 10 seconds (I don't know if it's expected). This frees
cx_ptr->p_lvlx each time (new in r243404), and concurrently,
CPU_GET_REG(cx_next->p_lvlx, 1) causes the page fault in acpi_cpu_idle().

By the way, should _CST appear in a dump from acpidump(8)?

Thanks a lot!
