This was writeable in 2.6.23 but the cpuidle merge made it read-only.  But
some people's scripts (ie: Mark's) were writing to it.

As an unhappy compromise, make max_cstate writeable again if the kernel was
configured without CONFIG_CPU_IDLE.

The timer broadcast code might access HPET, which should not be
accessed after the busmaster disable.

In acpi_idle_enter_simple() this change also prevents, that we modify
the busmaster state without going actually idle. This might leave the
ACPI bm state in a stale state, when we leave the function early in
the need_resched() check.

Fix for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9355

cpuidle always used to fallback to C2 if there is some bm activity while
entering C3. But, presence of C2 is not always guaranteed. Change cpuidle
algorithm to detect a safe_state to fallback in case of bm_activity and
use that state instead of C2.

Without this patch, some systems will notice a regression

The conversion of x86-64 to clock events makes the
 #ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
 n the timer broadcast functions useless. Remove it.
