x86: use cpuid to check MWAIT support for C1
cpuid(0x05) provides extended information about MWAIT in EDX when bit 0 of ECX is set. Bit 4-7 of EDX determine whether MWAIT is supported for C1. C1E enabled CPUs have these bits set to 0. Based on an earlier patch from Andi Kleen. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
