As suggested by Ricardo using the following will work avoiding separate
local CPU call. Preemption will be disabled, no need separate call.
Also cpu_online_mask can't be changed during these callbacks.

if (!pm_suspend_via_firmware())
	on_each_cpu(disable_c1_auto_demote, NULL, true);

I think you need wait=true. I have seen on some occasions you will miss
msr write as we called mwait before before async calls finished. 


Thanks,
