The Intel idle driver is preferred over the ACPI processor idle driver,
but fails to implement the work around for Core2 generation CPUs, where
the TSC stops in C2 and deeper C-states. This causes stalls and boot
delays, when the clocksource watchdog does not catch the unstable TSC
before the CPU goes deep idle for the first time.
The ACPI driver marks the TSC unstable when it detects that the CPU
supports C2 or deeper and the CPU does not have a non-stop TSC.
Add the equivivalent work around to the Intel idle driver to cure that.

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.
