Unfortunately, desktop Linux is relatively neglected (in terms of testing, bug reporting, time, and focus).
My guess is that it's probably an issue that affects desktop configurations. If it affected servers or ARM (due to clients using Linux for those applications), there's no way the kernel could have been released.
Developers probably haven't even noticed the issue yet, as most aren't visibly affected by increased power consumption on high-powered desktops and workstations.
I wonder... has there been discussion on the kernel devs' mailing list about this or are they waving it aside as being another case of phoronix hyping something for "ad revenue"?
