Revert commit96040f7273("x86/smp: Eliminate mwait_play_dead_cpuid_hint()") because it introduced a significant power regression on systems that start with "nosmt" in the kernel command line. Namely, on such systems, SMT siblings permanently go offline early, when cpuidle has not been initialized yet, so after the above commit, hlt_play_dead() is called for them. Later on, when the processor attempts to enter a deep package C-state, including PC10 which is requisite for reaching minimum power in suspend-to-idle, it is not able to do that because of the SMT siblings staying in C1 (which they have been put into by HLT). As a result, the idle power (including power in suspend-to-idle) rises quite dramatically on those systems with all of the possible consequences, which (needless to say) may not be expected by their users. This issue is hard to debug and potentially dangerous, so it needs to be addressed as soon as possible in a way that will work for 6.15.y, hence the revert. Of course, after this revert, the issue that commit96040f7273attempted to address will be back and it will need to be fixed again later.

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 reStructuredText 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.
