Yes. That about sums it up. Without intel_idle.max_cstate=0 the system is totally frozen unless you constantly provide keypresses, mouse movements, network activity, etc.
With intel_idle.max_cstate=0 the system will work but with regular enough freezes to be very frustrating. Playing music is a waste of time since it breaks up far too regularly.
