S3C2410A manual - chapter 7 - page 21.
IDLE mode: The block disconnects clocks (FCLK) only to the CPU core
while it supplies clocks to all other peripherals. The idle mode results
in decreased power consumption due to the CPU core. Any interrupt
request can wake the CPU from idle mode.
Deeply annoyingly, it doesn't give actual numbers.
It gives typical mode power at 200MHz at 259mW, and idle as 124mW, but
this is comparing between idle mode, and playing a movie, which isn't
very helpful.
