[patch 10/26] ACPI: Prefer _CST over FADT for C-state capabilities

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@xxxxxxxxx>

Note: This ACPI standard compliance may cause regression
on some system, if they have _CST present, but _CST value
is bogus. "nocst" module parameter should workaround
that regression.
