* 'idle-release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-idle-2.6:
  intel_idle: native hardware cpuidle driver for latest Intel processors
  ACPI: acpi_idle: touch TS_POLLING only in the non-MWAIT case
  acpi_pad: uses MONITOR/MWAIT, so it doesn't need to clear TS_POLLING
  sched: clarify commment for TS_POLLING
  ACPI: allow a native cpuidle driver to displace ACPI
  cpuidle: make cpuidle_curr_driver static
  cpuidle: add cpuidle_unregister_driver() error check
  cpuidle: fail to register if !CONFIG_CPU_IDLE

2671717265 intel_idle: native hardware cpuidle driver for latest Intel processors
This EXPERIMENTAL driver supersedes acpi_idle on
Intel Atom Processors, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
and associated Intel Xeon processors.

It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier.

For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver.
Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle
and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle".

Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early,
making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms.

intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time.
Processors that are hot-added later will be limited
to using C1 in idle.
