<content type='text'>
This patch makes the cpuidle_states structure global (single copy)
instead of per-cpu. The statistics needed on per-cpu basis
by the governor are kept per-cpu. This simplifies the cpuidle
subsystem as state registration is done by single cpu only.
Having single copy of cpuidle_states saves memory. Rare case
of asymmetric C-states can be handled within the cpuidle driver
and architectures such as POWER do not have asymmetric C-states.

Having single/global registration of all the idle states,
dynamic C-state transitions on x86 are handled by
the boot cpu. Here, the boot cpu  would disable all the devices,
re-populate the states and later enable all the devices,
irrespective of the cpu that would receive the notification first.

This is the first step towards global registration of cpuidle
states. The statistics used primarily by the governor are per-cpu
and have to be split from rest of the fields inside cpuidle_state,
which would be made global i.e. single copy. The driver_data field
is also per-cpu and moved.

<title>cpuidle: Move dev-&gt;last_residency update to driver enter routine; remove dev-&gt;last_state</title>

Cpuidle governor only suggests the state to enter using the
governor-&gt;select() interface, but allows the low level driver to
override the recommended state. The actual entered state
may be different because of software or hardware demotion. Software
demotion is done by the back-end cpuidle driver and can be accounted
correctly. Current cpuidle code uses last_state field to capture the
actual state entered and based on that updates the statistics for the
state entered.

Ideally the driver enter routine should update the counters,
and it should return the state actually entered rather than the time
spent there. The generic cpuidle code should simply handle where
the counters live in the sysfs namespace, not updating the counters.

Userspace apps might have to cut off parts off the
idle state name for display reasons.
Switch NHM-C1 to C1-NHM (and others) so that a cut off
name is unique and makes sense to the user.

Just as we had to disable auto-demotion for NHM/WSM,
we need to do the same for Atom (Lincroft version).

In particular, auto-demotion will prevent Lincroft
from entering the S0i3 idle power saving state.

Hardware C-state auto-demotion is a mechanism where the HW overrides
the OS C-state request, instead demoting to a shallower state,
which is less expensive, but saves less power.

Modern Linux should generally get exactly the states it requests.
In particular, when a CPU is taken off-line, it must not be demoted, else
it can prevent the entire package from reaching deep C-states.

Fix a shutdown regression caused by 2a2d31c8dc6f ("intel_idle: open
broadcast clock event").  The clockevent framework can automatically
shutdown broadcast timers for hotremove CPUs.  And we get a shutdown
regression when we shutdown broadcast timer for hot remove CPU, so just
delete some code.

Also fix some section mismatch.
