You need to add more repository, yes.  Or you can fetch directly from the
download URL:
 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-42.1/standard/x86_64

and get the latest kernel-default-4.1.*.rpm.   (No need for
kernel-default-base, kernel-default-devel, etc).  Then install it like
  zypper in kernel-default-4.1.*.rpm

Maybe it's better to increase the max number of multiple boot kernels in
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf.  Edit the file there and change multiverion.kernels = ....
line.  Add latest-2,latest-3, for example.

The kernel in OBS Kernel:openSUSE-42.1 repo.

As mentioned, The new kernel package with SKL intel_idle will be built in
tomorrow.  So, install this openSUSE-42.1 kernel, and test whether it works
without idle=nomwait option like before.

Yes, just the output of dmesg should suffice.

No problem, your quick test is really appreciated!
