Ok now that that's been cleared up, this patch enables suspend-on-hlt 
(Geode GXn CPU power management) and enables the SUSP# pin on the CPU 
which allows APM to function. Which brings me on to my next question, does 
APM on Geode GXn work? The datasheet specifies that in order for the 
processor to enter suspend mode (in response to SUSP# assertion) the first 
criteria which must be met is that the USE_SUSP bit must be set (CCR2 bit 
7). Part two of the patch simply enables extended MMX instructions for the 
GXn.

I'd be interested to hear of any problems with this.

Cheers,
