hrtimer: peek at the timer queue just before going idle
As part of going idle, we already look at the time of the next timer event to determine which C-state to select etc. This patch adds functionality that causes the timers that are past their soft expire time, to fire at this time, before we calculate the next wakeup time. This functionality will thus avoid wakeups by running timers before going idle rather than specially waking up for it. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
