Subject: [102/156] x86, amd: Restrict usage of c1e_idle()

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@....com>

commit 035a02c1e1de31888e8b6adac0ff667971ac04db upstream.

Currently c1e_idle returns true for all CPUs greater than or equal to
family 0xf model 0x40. This covers too many CPUs.

Meanwhile a respective erratum for the underlying problem was filed
(#400). This patch adds the logic to check whether erratum #400
applies to a given CPU.
Especially for CPUs where SMI/HW triggered C1e is not supported,
c1e_idle() doesn't need to be used. We can check this by looking at
the respective OSVW bit for erratum #400.
