When `osc_pc_lpi_support_confirmed` is set through `_OSC` and `_LPI` is populated then the cpuidle driver assumes that LPI is fully functional. However currently the kernel only provides architectural support for LPI on ARM. This leads to high power consumption on X86 platforms that otherwise try to enable LPI. So probe whether or not LPI support is implemented before enabling LPI in the kernel. This is done by overloading `acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe` to check whether it returns `-EOPNOTSUPP`. It also means that all future implementations of `acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe` will need to follow these semantics as well.

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.
