Zhang Rui d1cf8bbfed intel_idle: Add AlderLake support
Similar to SPR, the C1 and C1E states on ADL are mutually exclusive.
Only one of them can be enabled at a time.

But contrast to SPR, which usually has a strong latency requirement
as a Xeon processor, C1E is preferred on ADL for better energy
efficiency.

Add custom C-state tables for ADL with both C1 and C1E, and

 1. Enable the "C1E promotion" bit in MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL and mark C1
    with the CPUIDLE_FLAG_UNUSABLE flag, so C1 is not available by
    default.

 2. Add support for the "preferred_cstates" module parameter, so that
    users can choose to use C1 instead of C1E by booting with
    "intel_idle.preferred_cstates=2".

Separate custom C-state tables are introduced for the ADL mobile and
desktop processors, because of the exit latency differences between
these two variants, especially with respect to PC10.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
