Thank you, Jon.
Enabling this option in xorg.conf reduced wakeups caused by openChrome driver 
to zero value. So my laptop power usage has been lowered a little bit.

Does this option mean, that DRI won't actually work at the moment? OpenGL 
applications give me warning: 

do_wait: drmWaitVBlank returned -1, IRQs don't seem to be working correctly.
Try running with LIBGL_THROTTLE_REFRESH and LIBL_SYNC_REFRESH unset.
