Zhao Yakui da5e09a1b3 ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparam
"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT
instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH)
C-states.

When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally
negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1,
and use IO accesses for deeper C-states.

This option is useful for power and performance
comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs
where broken MWAIT support is advertised.
