Gosh, it looks so dangerous!
I think I'll wait for a .deb or something like that.

is this patch may also fixe the excessive CPU usage of the kernel kworker threads (when idle-ing) ?

It's perhaps easier to wait for a kernel which has this patch included.

Is this going to resolv the kworker thread consumming CPU usage (when linux idles) ?

No. This is a very different issue.

Please open a new topic or look for a topic about kworker on this forum, or another forum. This topic is about ASPM.

Thanks, I hope it will come soon, as I hope Ubuntu team will include the patch in its kernel.

It currently looks like the patch will be in the 3.3 kernel. It might be backported to older kernels but the kernel developers still want to test it.
