well, if we want to manually disable it and not automatically,
we have to disable autoidle or it will be automatically disabled.

Disabling it manually when it is already auto-disabled (by autoidle) is
just practically a no-op towards the clock.

Yes, we are, so proper testing is needed. But If I read those comments
it was always intended this way but not fully implemented because it
appeared to be more work like needing a usecounter (which my patchset
also adds) for that autoidle flag.
