The patch is harmless, it only adds accounting for time in C1E, so that you can see in powertop, that your system is actually idle for e.g. 95% of the time. It does nothing besides that. C1E is supported just fine in a vanilla kernel, it has nothing to do with tickless (except that you cannot see the idle time in powertop on any system without tickless, but that's in general). I think you're missing the point. It does not save any additional power, it just adds performance counters for it.
