Hi Rafael,
	This issue is introduced in 3.13-rc2, and I feel it's too late
to catch up with 3.13 window, so mark it for 3.13 speculatively.
	After more thoughts, I feel this patch should be divided into
two patches.
	One is to temporarily remove the __initdata marker. The other
is to correctly mark end of avn_cstates array. The second bug should
be introduced when merging "22e580d intel_idle: Fixed C6 state on
Avoton/Rangeley processors" with "eba682a intel_idle: shrink states tables".
	Should I split it into two?
Thanks!
Gerry
