    x86/idle: prevent entering C3/C6 on some Intel CPUs due to errata
    
    Apply a workaround for errata BA80, AAK120, AAM108, AAO67, BD59,
    AAY54: Rapid Core C3/C6 Transition May Cause Unpredictable System
    Behavior.
    
    Limit maximum C state to C1 when SMT is enabled on the affected CPUs.
