Add Sapphire Rapids Xeon support. Up until very recently, the C1 and C1E C-states were independent, but this has changed in some new chips, including Sapphire Rapids Xeon (SPR). In these chips the C1 and C1E states cannot be enabled at the same time. The "C1E promotion" bit in 'MSR_IA32_POWER_CTL' also has its semantics changed a bit. Here are the C1, C1E, and "C1E promotion" bit rules on Xeons before SPR. 1. If C1E promotion bit is disabled. a. C1 requests end up with C1 C-state. b. C1E requests end up with C1E C-state. 2. If C1E promotion bit is enabled. a. C1 requests end up with C1E C-state. b. C1E requests end up with C1E C-state. Here are the C1, C1E, and "C1E promotion" bit rules on Sapphire Rapids Xeon. 1. If C1E promotion bit is disabled. a. C1 requests end up with C1 C-state. b. C1E requests end up with C1 C-state. 2. If C1E promotion bit is enabled. a. C1 requests end up with C1E C-state. b. C1E requests end up with C1E C-state. Before SPR Xeon, the 'intel_idle' driver was disabling C1E promotion and was exposing C1 and C1E as independent C-states. But on SPR, C1 and C1E cannot be enabled at the same time. This patch adds both C1 and C1E states. However, C1E is marked as with the "CPUIDLE_FLAG_UNUSABLE" flag, which means that in won't be registered by default. The C1E promotion bit will be cleared, which means that by default only C1 and C6 will be registered on SPR. The next patch will add an option for enabling C1E and disabling C1 on SPR.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
