ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variables
Having four variables for the same thing:
idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides
is rather confusing and unnecessary complex.
if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable:
boot_option_idle_overrides
Introduces following functional changes/fixes:
- intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy
boot param is passed.
- processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver
and get active if idle=halt is passed.
Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered
Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses
the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but
without registering a whole cpuidle driver.
That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register
with one exception (same behavior as before):
idle=nomwait
may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use
mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep
states where C1 mwait causes problems.
