My changelog for this patch:

"A subsequent change is going to make native_play_dead() rely on the
idle driver to put CPUs going offline into appropriate idle states.

For this reason, provide the default :enter_dead() handler for all of
the idle states on all platforms supported by intel_idle with an
option to override it with a custom handler if needed."

I don't think that the above change belongs to this patch. If I'm
mistaken, it should be mentioned in the changelog and the reason for
making it should be explained.
