Annotate static variables cpuidle_state_table and mwait_substates with __initdata, because they are only used during the initialization of the driver. Also notice that static variable icpu could be annotated analogously and the structure pointed to by it could be __initconst, but two of its fields are accessed via icpu in intel_idle_cpu_init() and auto_demotion_disable(), so introduce two new static variables, auto_demotion_disable_flags and disable_promotion_to_c1e, to hold the values of these fields, set them during the initialization and use them in those functions instead of accessing the source data structure via icpu. That allows icpu to be annotated with __initdata, so do that, and it will also allow some __initconst annotations to be added subsequently. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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 Restructured Text 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.
