Konstantin Belousov b57a73f8e7 If x86 CPU implementation of the MWAIT instruction reasonably
interacts with interrupts, query ACPI and use MWAIT for entrance into
Cx sleep states.  Support C1 "I/O then halt" mode.  See Intel'
document 302223-007 "Intelб╝ Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface
Specification" for description.

Move the acpi_cpu_c1() function into x86/cpu_machdep.c and use
it instead of inlining "sti; hlt" sequence in several places.

In the acpi(4) man page, besides documenting the dev.cpu.N.cx_methods
sysctl, correct the names for dev.cpu.N.{cx_usage,cx_lowest,cx_supported}
sysctls.

Both jkim and avg have some other patches implementing the mwait
functionality; this work is unrelated.  Linux does not rely on the
ACPI to provide correct tables describing Cx modes.  Instead, the
driver has pre-defined knowledge of the CPU models, it was supplied by
Intel.
