Well, the real way would be to get PMC up and then see how many cycles
are spent in the halt state, versus in the "spin" state inside the
idle loop.

I just looked at the idle loop and it calls cpu_sleep(0); - the
implementations of that _seem_ to enter a CPU wait state, rather than
just spinning and chewing all the CPU cycles available.

Which CPU type is the RPI? Is it using the armv7 machdep code?
