cpupower: Implement disabling of cstate interface
Latest kernel allows to disable C-states via: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateY/disable This patch provides lower level sysfs access functions to make use of this interface. A later patch will implement the higher level stuff. Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
