[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Make offlined CPU enter deepest C state

["Yu, Ke" <ke.yu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Make offlined CPU enter deepest C state

Before cpuidle is introduced, offlined CPU only enter C1 (by HLT instruction). 
This is not optimal since C2/C3 can bring more power saving. Since now cpuidle 
is introduced, it is time for offlined CPU to enter more deeper C state.

This patch add the logic to make offlined CPU enter deepest C state, if cpuidle 
is enabled.
