In function acpi_idle_do_entry(), an ioport access is used for dummy
wait to guarantee hardware behavior. But it could trigger unnecessary
vmexit if kernel is running as guest in virtualization environtment.
If it's in virtualization environment, the deeper C state enter
operation (inb()) will trap to hyervisor. It's not needed to do
dummy wait after the inb() call. So we remove the dummy io port
access to avoid unnecessary VMexit.
We keep dummy io port access to maintain timing for native environment.

ChangeLog:
v2 -> v3:
- Remove dummy io port access totally for virtualization env.
v1 -> v2:
- Use ndelay instead of dead loop for dummy delay.

Overengineered...
Just add:
static void wait_for_freeze(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
/* No delay is needed if we are a guest */
if (boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR))
return;
#endif
/* Dummy wait op - must do something useless after P_LVL2 read
because chipsets cannot guarantee that STPCLK# signal
gets asserted in time to freeze execution properly. */
inl(acpi_gbl_FADT.xpm_timer_block.address);
}
and use it to replace the inl().
I was about to make a similar comment.
OK. Will send v4 soon.
