Ingo Molnar a738d897b7 x86: remove mwait capability C-state check
Vegard Nossum reports:

| powertop shows between 200-400 wakeups/second with the description
| "<kernel IPI>: Rescheduling interrupts" when all processors have load (e.g.
| I need to run two busy-loops on my 2-CPU system for this to show up).
|
| The bisect resulted in this commit:
|
| commit 0c07ee38c9d4eb081758f5ad14bbffa7197e1aec
| Date:   Wed Jan 30 13:33:16 2008 +0100
|
|     x86: use the correct cpuid method to detect MWAIT support for C states

remove the functional effects of this patch and make mwait unconditional.

A future patch will turn off mwait on specific CPUs where that causes
power to be wasted.
