Subject: [PATCH] x86: move warning message of polling idle and HT enabled
This warning at idle_setup() is never shown because smp_num_sibling hasn't
been updated at this point yet.
Move this polling idle and HT enabled warning message to select_idle_routine().
I also implement this warning on 64-bit kernel and make select_idle_routine()
call after detect_ht() call.

Ingo, this patch needs Andi's patch;
i386: Move MWAIT idle check to generic CPU
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/2/358
I haven't found it in x86.git tree.
