setitimer() should return -EFAULT if called with an invalid pointer
for value. The current code excludes a NULL pointer from this rule and
silently uses it to stop the timer. This violates the spec.

Warn about user space apps which rely on that feature and schedule it
for removal.

The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the
32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the
HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially
it turned off the use of HLT.

This workaround was commented in the code as:

 "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"

 "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA
  wreckage. It should be safe to remove."

H. Peter Anvin additionally adds:

 "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of
  flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to
  run DOS.  Since DOS did no power management of any kind,
  including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed
  to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT
  caused some of these systems to fail.

  They were by far in the minority even back then."

Alan Cox further says:

 "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT
  occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during
  DMA tended to go astray.

  Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520
  fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of
  use."

So, let's finally drop this.

mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it.

But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle().

Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param
to simplify the x86 idle code.

After this change, kernels configured with
(!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that support MWAIT will simply use HLT.  If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be used.

We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on
every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had
marginal electricals 15-years ago.  If those machines are still running
the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll".  The only difference
will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt().

We don't want to export the pm_idle function pointer to modules.
Currently CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE w/ CONFIG_APM_MODULE forces us to.

CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is of dubious value, it runs only on 32-bit
uniprocessor laptops that are over 10 years old.  It calls into
the BIOS during idle, and is known to cause a number of machines
to fail.

Removing CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and will allow us to stop exporting
pm_idle.  Any systems that were calling into the APM BIOS
at run-time will simply use HLT instead.
