Add C-state table for the SnowRidge SoC which is found on Intel Jacobsville
platforms.
The following has been changed.
1. C1E latency changed from 10us to 15us. It was measured using the
open source "wult" tool (the "nic" method, 15us is the 99.99th
percentile).
2. C1E power break even changed from 20us to 25us, which may result
in less C1E residency in some workloads.
3. C6 latency changed from 50us to 130us. Measured the same way as C1E.
The C6 C-state is supported only by some SnowRidge revisions, so add a C-state
table commentary about this.
On SnowRidge, C6 support is enumerated via the usual mechanism: "mwait" leaf of
the "cpuid" instruction. The 'intel_idle' driver does check this leaf, so even
though C6 is present in the table, the driver will only use it if the CPU does
support it.

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.
