[Xen-devel] [PATCH 09/18] cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and

From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>

When a Xen Dom0 kernel boots on a hypervisor, it gets access
to the raw-hardware ACPI tables.  While it parses the idle tables
for the hypervisor's beneift, it uses HLT for its own idle.

Rather than have xen scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle,
have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and
architecture default HLT will be used.
