Mkay. Seems to work, no interrupt load any more etc.

But what's the point of having this hw.acpi.cpu.c3_reloadthr? Interrupt 
load isn't significant even with 0 and lower interrupt rate would make 
point if it would mean less energy consumption - lesser interrupt rate = 
more chance to spend more time in lowest C state. No? ;)
