[PATCH][Rebased] intel_idle: Add a new flag to initialize the AMX state

From: Chang S. Bae
Date: Mon Jul 18 2022 - 15:05:37 EST


The non-initialized AMX state can be the cause of C-state demotion from C6
to C1E. This low-power idle state may improve power savings and thus result
in a higher available turbo frequency budget.

This behavior is implementation-specific. Initialize the state for the C6
entrance of Sapphire Rapids as needed.
