the one way is to check for hal_idle_thread_action (or similar?) in
your HAL package, and change it. I do not know, is this functions exists
in all HALs, but I saw it yesterday in i386 package -- it contains
simple "hlt" asm instruction (for uniprocessor system), so it shouldn't
be hard to provide own replacement.
