    cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer
    
    Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle"
    events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex.
    
    It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use
    the cpuidle subsystem, namely:
      - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c
      - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c
      - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c
      - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c
      - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait)
      - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess)
      - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before)
    
    Convention should be:
    Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere
    down the the callee tree) to keep things easy.
    
    Current possible pm_idle functions in X86:
    c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle
    -> this is really easy is now.
    
    This affects userspace:
    The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get
    mapped to:
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...}
    instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values.
    This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver.
    For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor
    misses out C-states in his BIOS.
    Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle
    events from:
    /sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped
    to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss
    out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3.
    -> everything is fine.

    intel_idle: open broadcast clock event
    
    Intel_idle driver uses CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER
    CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT
    for broadcast clock events. The _ENTER/_EXIT doesn't really open broadcast clock
    events, please see processor_idle.c for an example. In some situation, this will
    cause boot hang, because some CPUs enters idle but local APIC timer stalls.

    cpuidle: Rename X86 specific idle poll state[0] from C0 to POLL
    
    C0 means and is well know as "not idle".
    All documentation out there uses this term as "running"/"not idle"
    state. Also Linux userspace tools (e.g. cpufreq-aperf and turbostat)
    show C0 residency which there is correct, but means something totally
    else than cpuidle "POLL" state.

    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.

    cpuidle: Make cpuidle_enable_device() call poll_idle_init()
    
    The following scenario is possible with the current cpuidle code and
    the ACPI cpuidle driver:
    (1) acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() is called,
    (2) cpuidle_disable_device() is called,
    (3) cpuidle_remove_state_sysfs() is called to remove the (presumably
        outdated) states info from sysfs,
    (3) acpi_processor_get_power_info() is called, the first entry in the
        pr->power.states[] table is filled with zeros,
    (4) acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle() is called and it doesn't fill the
        first entry in pr->power.states[],
    (5) cpuidle_enable_device() is called,
    (6) __cpuidle_register_device() is _not_ called, since the device has
        already been registered,
    (7) Consequently, poll_idle_init() is _not_ called either,
    (8) cpuidle_add_state_sysfs() is called to create the sysfs attributes
        for the new states and it uses the bogus first table entry from
        acpi_processor_get_power_info() for creating state0.
    
    This problem is avoided if cpuidle_enable_device()
    unconditionally calls poll_idle_init().
