x86/bugs: Separate AMD E400 erratum and C1E bug The workaround for the AMD Erratum E400 (Local APIC timer stops in C1E state) is a two step process: - Selection of the E400 aware idle routine - Detection whether the platform is affected The idle routine selection happens for possibly affected CPUs depending on family/model/stepping information. These range of CPUs is not necessarily affected as the decision whether to enable the C1E feature is made by the firmware. Unfortunately there is no way to query this at early boot. The current implementation polls a MSR in the E400 aware idle routine to detect whether the CPU is affected. This is inefficient on non affected CPUs because every idle entry has to do the MSR read. There is a better way to detect this before going idle for the first time which requires to seperate the bug flags: X86_BUG_AMD_E400 - Selects the E400 aware idle routine and enables the detection X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E - Set when the platform is affected by E400 Replace the current X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E usage by the new X86_BUG_AMD_E400 bug bit to select the idle routine which currently does an unconditional detection poll. X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is going to be used in later patches to remove the MSR polling and simplify the handling of this misfeature.
