For C1 and C2 states use cpu_ticks() to measure sleep time instead of much
slower ACPI timer. We can't do it for C3, as TSC may stop there. But it is
less important there as wake up latency is high any way.
For C1 and C2 states do not check/clear bus mastering activity status, as
it is important only for C3. As side effect it can make CPU enter C2 instead
of C3 if last BM activity was two sleeps back (unlike one before), but
that may be even good because of collecting more statistics. Premature BM
wakeup from C3, entered because of overestimation, can easily be worse then
entering C2 from both performance and power consumption points of view.
Together on dual Xeon E5645 system on sequential 512 bytes read test this
change makes cpu_idle_acpi() as fast as simplest cpu_idle_hlt() and only
few percents slower then cpu_idle_mwait(), while deeper states are still
actively used during idle periods.
To help with diagnostics, add C-state type into dev.cpu.X.cx_supported.
