Subject[PATCH 4/9] x86 idle floppy: delete disable_hlt()/enable_hlt()
Date
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

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().

Unlcear why this workaround was ever needed, it was commented:

floppy.c said:

"disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations"

x86/kernel/process.c said:

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

So remove it, as it allows us to simplify the x86 idle code.
