Doze should work (a long time ago when I did power measurements I saw a 
drop in consumption once Linux started, and the system was idle)...  Nap 
is not supported, and should probably be removed from the e300 cputable 
entry.  I don't think it's worthwhile to flush the cache every time the 
cpu is idle just to nap instead of doze.
