Add architectural support for cpuidle-haltpoll driver by defining
arch_haltpoll_*().
Also define ARCH_CPUIDLE_HALTPOLL to allow cpuidle-haltpoll to be
selected, and given that we have an optimized polling mechanism
in smp_cond_load*(), select ARCH_HAS_OPTIMIZED_POLL.
smp_cond_load*() are implemented via LDXR, WFE, with LDXR loading
a memory region in exclusive state and the WFE waiting for any
stores to it.
In the edge case -- no CPU stores to the waited region and there's no
interrupt -- the event-stream will provide the terminating condition
ensuring we don't wait forever, but because the event-stream runs at
a fixed frequency (configured at 10kHz) we might spend more time in
the polling stage than specified by cpuidle_poll_time().
This would only happen in the last iteration, since overshooting the
poll_limit means the governor moves out of the polling stage.

It is better that guest supports halt poll on more architectures, LoongArch
wants this if result is good.

Do we need disable halt polling on host hypervisor if guest also uses halt
polling idle method?

Yes. The intent is to work on that separately from this series. As the comment
below states, until that is available we only allow force loading.
Thanks for your explanation. By internal test, it is useful for LoongArch virtmachine on some scenarios. And in late we want to add haltpoll support on LoongArch VM based your series.
