Here is the reason. The local APIC stops working in C3 state and we fall
back to the PIT in that case. Not really exciting for dynticks, but the
only way to keep the system alive. There is a patch coming up from
Intel, which finds out how to use HPET even if it is not enabled by the
BIOS. This will still end up on IRQ#0, but will give way longer idle
sleeps than the PIT.
