Suresh Siddha 6110a1f43c intel_idle: Voluntary leave_mm before entering deeper
Avoid TLB flush IPIs for the cores in deeper c-states by voluntary leave_mm()
before entering into that state. CPUs tend to flush TLB in those c-states
anyways.

acpi_idle does this with C3-type states, but it was not caried over
when intel_idle was introduced.  intel_idle can apply it
to C-states in addition to those that ACPI might export as C3...

Len Brown 0394c6676e intel_idle: delete power_policy modparam, and choose substate functions
The idea behind power policy was that it would start off as a modparam,
and then hook into the new "global" in-kernel power vs energy tunable.
But that tunable isn't happening, so delete the hook here.

With the policy hook gone, the sub-state choice functions
do not do anything useful, so delete them from the critical path.

To handle sub-states in the future, we will advertise them
with dedicated cpuidle_state entries.  That is necessary
because some of the sub-states will have substantially different
properties than their peer sub-states.

Len Brown 2671717265 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.
