Subject: [PATCH 098/130] intel idle: Make idle driver more robust
commit 5c2a9f06a9cd7194f884cdc88144866235dec07d upstream.
kvm -cpu host passes the original cpuid info to the guest.
Latest kvm version seem to return true for mwait_leaf cpuid
function on recent Intel CPUs. But it does not return mwait
C-states (mwait_substates), instead zero is returned.
While real CPUs seem to always return non-zero values, the intel
idle driver should not get active in kvm (mwait_substates == 0)
case and bail out.
Otherwise a Null pointer exception will happen later when the
cpuidle subsystem tries to get active:
[0.984807] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
