AFIAK there aren't any patches floating around, but you can change polling  
intevals
for modules and tweak the configs, closing all the windows etc.  I think  
the 3rd party
net/wlan modules caused a lot more wakes than just 4.  I'm not sure how  
low you can go,
since I can't see less than 61 wakes from the radeon driver, but with e17  
idle in xorg,
I get 99% of the time in C3.  On my system, there are a lot of things  
waking below e17
which quickly adds beyond the 2-5 polls/sec I get from e, giving a much  
less marginal
benefit.
