Public bug reported:

Powertop shows, that the system does not enter the low power idle states
of the CPU (beyond PC2) despite the individual cores all reaching their
lowest power idle states (C10). See attached screen shot for a typical
example of powertop's output.

A result of this is a vastly reduced battery live.

Furthermore, Intel suggests that not enabling low power idle states may have a negative impact on the life time of the CPU. See
https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/41713.html

The laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad x260 which is is a Ubuntu certified
system (http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201511-20298/).
