[PATCH v1 2/3] intel_idle: add 'preferred_cstates' module argument

[Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind1@gmail.com>]

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

On Sapphire Rapids Xeon (SPR) the C1 and C1E states are basically mutually
exclusive - only one of them can be enabled. By default, 'intel_idle' driver
enables C1 and disables C1E. However, some users prefer to use C1E instead of
C1, because it saves more energy.

This patch adds a new module parameter ('preferred_cstates') for enabling C1E
and disabling C1. Here is the idea behind it.

1. This option has effect only for "mutually exclusive" C-states like C1 and
   C1E on SPR.
2. It does not have any effect on independent C-states, which do not require
   other C-states to be disabled (most states on most platforms as of today).
3. For mutually exclusive C-states, the 'intel_idle' driver always has a
   reasonable default, such as enabling C1 on SPR by default. On other
   platforms, the default may be different.
4. Users can override the default using the 'preferred_cstates' parameter.
5. The parameter accepts the preferred C-states bit-mask, similarly to the
   existing 'states_off' parameter.
6. This parameter is not limited to C1/C1E, and leaves room for supporting
   other mutually exclusive C-states, if they come in the future.

Today 'intel_idle' can only be compiled-in, which means that on SPR, in order
to disable C1 and enable C1E, users should boot with the following kernel
argument: intel_idle.preferred_cstates=4
