      ACPI: Only use IPI on known broken machines (AMD, Dothan/BaniasPentium M) · 25496cae

      Use IPI for blacklisted CPUs, add parameter IPI vs LAPIC
      
      Currently, Linux disables lapic timer for all machines with C2 and higher
      C-state support.
      
      According to Intel only specific Intel models (Banias/Dothan) are broken
      in respect of not waking up from C2 with lapic.
      
      However, I am not sure about the naming of the parameter and how it
      could/should get integrated into the dyntick part
      (CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS). There, a more fine grained check (TSC
      still running?, ..) is needed? Does this make sense (always use
      CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON, but use OFF if forced by use_ipi=0:
      clockevents_notify(use_ipi ? CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON :
      CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_OFF, &pr->id);
