From 5b53496a5ad79e91052f72761a7c5516b069bc99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhao Yakui Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:39:59 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Disable the C2C3_FFH access mode HW has no MWAIT support 991528d7348667924176f3e29addea0675298944 (ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT) started passing C2C3_FFH to _PDC to tell the BIOS that Linux supports MWAIT for deep C-states. However, we should first double check with the hardware that it actually supports MWAIT before potentially exposing a BIOS bug of an MWAIT _CST on HW that doesn't support MWAIT.
