BTW, why can't the tick be suspended when csched_schedule() concludes

The tick suspend can be put in csched_schedule, but the suspend/resume logic
is still needed in acpi_processor_idle anyway, due to another dbs_timer
suspend/resume. The intention here is to make acpi_processor_idle the central
place for timers which are stoppable during idle period. If there is other
stoppable timer in the future, it can be easily added to acpi_processor_idle.
So it is clean to keep current logic. and as long as we carefully not over
doing the softirq, it looks not so intrusive. How do you think?

I think the approach is fine. I also already applied your patch since it is
obviously a good bug fix, even if it doesn't fix Mukesh's bug. And I fixed
the comment at the same time. And I backported it for Xen 3.4.1.

It fixes my bug.

Thanks,
