Subject[PATCH 1/3] cpuidle: If disable_cpuidle() is called, set pm_idle to default_idle.
Date
. however we ignore the disable_cpuidle() directive and
in select_idle_routine() set it to type preferred by the CPU.

This is a regression introduced by

cpuidle: stop depending on pm_idle

specifically this patch:

cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle

..scribble on pm_idle and access default_idle,
have it simply disable_cpuidle() so acpi_idle will not load and
architecture default HLT will be used.

.. but the default HLT does not get used. Instead we end up in the
situation that select_idle_routine() is called from arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c
and if we called cpuidle_disable(), then the pm_idle is not set, and
we end up setting pm_idle to mwait_idle or amd_e400_idle.

This patch uses the cpuidle_disabled() functionality and
makes select_idle_routine() adhere to that.
