Add and ACPI idle power level limit for 32-bit ThinkPad T40.
There is a regression on T40 introduced by commit d6b88ce2, starting
with kernel 5.16:

ACPI: processor idle: Allow playing dead in C3 state
The above patch is trying to enter C3 state during init, what is causing
a T40 system freeze. I have not found a similar issue on any other of my
32-bit machines.
The fix is to add another exception to the processor_power_dmi_table[] list.
As a result the dmesg shows as expected:
[2.155398] ACPI: IBM ThinkPad T40 detected - limiting to C2 max_cstate. Override with "processor.max_cstate=9"
[2.155404] ACPI: processor limited to max C-state 2
The fix is trivial and affects only vintage T40 systems.

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.
