[v7,3/8] ACPI: Decouple ACPI idle and ACPI processor drivers

This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol, ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE,
which is auto selected by architectures which support the ACPI
based C states for CPU Idle management.

The processor_idle driver in its present form contains declarations
specific to X86 and IA64. Since there are no reasonable defaults
for other architectures e.g. ARM64, the driver is selected only by
the arch/x86/Kconfig.

This helps in decoupling the ACPI processor_driver from the ACPI
processor_idle driver which is useful for the upcoming alternative
patchwork for controlling CPU Performance (CPPC) and CPU Idle (LPI).

Hm. I tried to maintain bisectability and make it easier for you to
rebase LPI patchwork too. Let me see if I can revisit now that I'm
back from vacation. :)

Unfortunately I can't skip idle changes completely since it is tightly
coupled with the acpi_processor driver as well.

Ashwin.

Bisectability aside, without the idle changes to decouple it from
ACPI_PROCESSOR, the CPPC code will be non-functional. CPPC code has
been around for review publicly for almost a year and we need it to be
mainlined soon. So, given that we've converged on a solution for new
Kconfigs for Idle and PSS and that they're separate patches, why not
let it progress forwards as part of this series?

Thanks,
Ashwin.

Can you please try rebasing with Patch 2,3,6 and 9 of the V8 series?
Those should get you going for your LPI work.

Thanks,
Ashwin.
