Requesting low power acpi cpu c-states has two software interfaces:
Using P_LVLx I/O reads or using equivalent MWAIT requests.
This change makes it more consistent with newer targets that use MWAIT
requests.
There also exists extended intel acpi c-states which can be enabled
in two ways:
- using a substate hint to the mwait request (defined in bios);
- setting a model specific register (msr)
Currently this is done by setting the right msr bits but with this
change one can experiment by adding substate hints.
