I looked into that, and I'm still not sure whether setting those constants in arch
specific code is a good idea. Basically OSC and PDC are supported on two architectures
ia64 and x86, so that would introduce unnecessary code duplication, as this mechanic
is present regardless of an architecture, and in this particular case boot_option_idle_override
is set by acpi_processor.c function set_no_mwait().

One could argue theoretically that system defined in processor_dmi_table[] is an x86 so there
is no need to add any logic to ia64, but to me this is confusing. If we have a workaround in the
acpi_processor, maybe entire workaround should stay there instead of dragging innocent arch
code into it.

Please let me know your thoughts,

Michał
