intel_idle: native hardware cpuidle driver for latest Intel processors

This EXPERIMENTAL driver supersedes acpi_idle on
Intel Atom Processors, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
and associated Intel Xeon processors.

It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier.

For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver.
Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle
and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle".

Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early,
making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms.

intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time.
Processors that are hot-added later will be limited
to using C1 in idle.

* intel_idle is a cpuidle driver that loads on specific Intel processors

*/
/*
* Design Assumptions
*
* All CPUs have same idle states as boot CPU
*
* Chipset BM_STS (bus master status) bit is a NOP
* for preventing entry into deep C-stats
*/
/*
* Known limitations
*
* The driver currently initializes for_each_online_cpu() upon modprobe.
* It it unaware of subsequent processors hot-added to the system.
* This means that if you boot with maxcpus=n and later online
* processors above n, those processors will use C1 only.
*
* ACPI has a .suspend hack to turn off deep c-statees during suspend
* to avoid complications with the lapic timer workaround.
* Have not seen issues with suspend, but may need same workaround here.
*
* There is currently no kernel-based automatic probing/loading mechanism
* if the driver is built as a module.
