[PATCH v2 0/2] x86/fpu: Make AMX state ready for CPU idle

["Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>]

AMX state is a large state (at least 8KB or more). Entering CPU idle with
this non-initialized large state may result in shallow states while a
deeper low-power state is available.

We can confirm this behavior is implementation-specific. Section 3.3 in [1]
will be updated to clarify this. Sorry for the delay in this conclusion
and the update here.

Changes from v1 [2]:
* Drop the code to call TILERELEASE from arch_cpu_idle_enter(). Instead,
  do it from the intel-idle driver, as the behavior is *not* architectural.
* Simplify the driver code change (Rui).
* Improve the dynamic state flag check in the helper function.
* Drop the new C-state table as it is done by another patchset [3].
* Drop the opcode map changes as tip's x86/misc [4] has merged it already.

With the last two changes, the series depends on these:
* The C-state table update for Sapphire Rapids in linux-pm [3].
* The update of the x86 opcode map in the tip's branch [4].

The series on top of the above is available here:

Thanks,
Chang
