Subject: [RFC v2][PATCH 9/9] intel_idle: Add module parameter to prevent ACPI _CST from being used

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Add a new module parameter called "no_acpi" to the intel_idle driver
to allow the driver to be prevented from using ACPI _CST via kernel
command line.
