AFAIK, kapm-idled has something to do with apm management on newer
kernels. That 80% CPU usage is apparently something of a lie, since
when this process is switched in, it isn't doing anything (e.g. 80%
idled, or some such). I'm still running in 2.2.x land, so maybe someone
else can give a better explanation...
