Subject: [PATCH][Rebased] intel_idle: Add a new flag to initialize the AMX state

The non-initialized AMX state can be the cause of C-state demotion from C6
to C1E. This low-power idle state may improve power savings and thus result
in a higher available turbo frequency budget.

This behavior is implementation-specific. Initialize the state for the C6
entrance of Sapphire Rapids as needed.

The patch merged in the tip's x86/fpu branch [1] has conflict with the
upstream -- commit 32d4fd5751ea ("cpuidle,intel_idle: Fix
CPUIDLE_FLAG_IRQ_ENABLE") as of v5.19-rc2.
