[PATCH RFC 5/5] ACPI / processor_idle : introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI_PROCESSOR_CSTATE

2015-05-06 Thread Sudeep Holla
ACPI 6.0 adds a new method to specify the CPU idle states(c-states) called Low Power Idle(LPI) states. Since new architectures like ARM64 use only LPIs, introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI_PROCESSOR_CSTATE to encapsulate all the code supporting the traditional C-states. This patch will help to extend
