The following webrev is the result of extensive testing on a kernel
instrumented to record events and state at all CPU power domain levels.

This fix has 3 mechanisms for detecting workloads where there will be a loss
of performance if the CPU too aggresively enters deeper C-states.
This version improves SPECweb slightly on our 2 socket system,
it allows the system to save much more power at idle and low utilizations,
and it allows very good performance on benchmarks.

I would like to push this ASAP to allow further testing.

I am not sure what the locking requirements are in 
cpupm_alloc_ms_cstate() and cpupm_free_ms_cstate()?
These functions can be called during boot, during _CST change event 
notifications, and when C-states are disabled/enabled.
