    cpuidle: Eliminate the CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol · dc2251bf
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    On some architectures the first (index 0) idle state is a polling
    one and it doesn't really save energy, so there is the
    CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol allowing some pieces of
    cpuidle code to avoid using that state.
    
    However, this makes the code rather hard to follow.  It is better
    to explicitly avoid the polling state, so add a new cpuidle state
    flag CPUIDLE_FLAG_POLLING to mark it and make the relevant code
    check that flag for the first state instead of using the
    CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START symbol.
    
    In the ACPI processor driver that cannot always rely on the state
    flags (like before the states table has been set up) define
    a new internal symbol ACPI_IDLE_STATE_START equivalent to the
    CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START one and drop the latter.
