What is next:

handle c1e_idle() vs default_idle()
run-time check for AMD workaround enable as part of default_idle?
give xen_arch_setup default_idle() w/o having it touch pm_idle
perhaps it can simply set a flag to disable cpuidle...
which is what would run if the xen kernel were
booted on raw iron. Or can we handle this
at compile time?
delete pm_idle
x86 will then use default_idle or cpuidle
allow cpuidle to use default_idle to handle the period
where it polls because cpus have not yet registered
