Hm, but given your above explanations that the hlt() may not really completely halt, I'd say that we really should move the loop into hlt(). When I call hlt() from my code I _expect_ a full halt, I don't want _any_ other code exectuted.
It's hlt, not halt. This is the instruction that used to be called in the idle loop to make the cpu _sleep_ until new work occurs.
Please don't break the current, correct behavior.
