The only safe way I see of doing this is to set a define for the number 
of C state transitions we currently support. Which is hacky :|

I think the problem here is that we're allocating blank lines according 
to the number of known states, regardless of how many the system/OS 
actually supports. Without the kstat c-state info, I don't see a good 
way of fixing this bug besides hand coding.

Any ideas ?
