   # HEAD: edc8fc01f608108b0b7580cb2c29dfb5135e5f0e x86: Fix CPUIDLE_FLAG_IRQ_ENABLE leaking timer reprogram

x86/core changes for v6.8:

 - Fix possible unintended timer delays caused by a race in
   mwait_idle_with_hints().

 - Add comments about the magic behind the shadow STI
   before MWAIT in __sti_mwait().

 Thanks,

	Ingo
