[PATCH v1 09/10] intel_idle: Add module parameter to prevent ACPI _CST from being used

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

Add a new module parameter called "no_acpi" to the intel_idle driver
to allow the driver to be prevented from using ACPI _CST via kernel
command line.
