Subject: ACPI keep track of timer broadcasting
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This is a preperatory patch for highres/dyntick:
- replace the big #ifdef ARCH_APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3 hackery by functions
- remove the double switch in the power verify function (in the worst case
we switched ipi to apic and 20usec later apic to ipi)
- keep track of the the state which stops local APIC timer
