CPUIDLE: DOM0, enable C1 FFH

Get C1 info from acpi table and pass it to Xen. It is partially
backported from below kernel commit:

    ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT

    Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support
    support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction.
    Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
    http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm

    Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS
    using
    ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
    Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface
    Specification
    http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm

    With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the
    processor
    to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3).  We won't use the
    special IO
    ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter
    C-state.
    Overall this will mean better C-state support.

    One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this
    and "treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get
    accurate timing for the time spent in C1, C2, ..  states.
