From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>
For ACPI mode, mwait_with_hints() in cstate.c is used instead of
process.c's mwait_idle().
For INTEL_IDLE mode, the mwait in intel_idle() is used instead of
process.c's mwait_idle().
So delete process.c's mwait_idle().
This will change the behaviour of SMP sysgtems that are
running !ACPI and !INTEL_IDLE kernels -- they will use
HALT instead of MWAIT.
This deletes the "idle=mwait" parameter, and thus the
boot_option_idle_override == IDLE_FORCE_MWAIT flag.

idle= [X86]
- Format: idle=poll, idle=mwait, idle=halt, idle=nomwait
+ Format: idle=poll, idle=halt, idle=nomwait
Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly
improve the performance of waking up a idle CPU, but
will use a lot of power and make the system run hot.
Not recommended.
- idle=mwait: On systems which support MONITOR/MWAIT but
- the kernel chose to not use it because it doesn't save
- as much power as a normal idle loop, use the
- MONITOR/MWAIT idle loop anyways. Performance should be
- the same as idle=poll.
idle=halt: Halt is forced to be used for CPU idle.
In such case C2/C3 won't be used again.
idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states
