x86, amd: Restrict usage of c1e_idle()
Currently c1e_idle returns true for all CPUs greater than or equal to family 0xf model 0x40. This covers too many CPUs. Meanwhile a respective erratum for the underlying problem was filed (#400). This patch adds the logic to check whether erratum #400 applies to a given CPU. Especially for CPUs where SMI/HW triggered C1e is not supported, c1e_idle() doesn't need to be used. We can check this by looking at the respective OSVW bit for erratum #400.
