[Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/5] x86: allow limiting the max C-state sub-state

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>

Allow limiting the max C-state sub-state by appending to the max_cstate
command-line parameter. E.g. max_cstate=1,0
The limit only applies to the highest legal C-state. For example:
 max_cstate = 1, max_csubstate = 0 ==> C0, C1 okay, but not C1E
 max_cstate = 1, max_csubstate = 1 ==> C0, C1 and C1E okay, but not C2
 max_cstate = 2, max_csubstate = 0 ==> C0, C1, C1E, C2 okay, but not C3
 max_cstate = 2, max_csubstate = 1 ==> C0, C1, C1E, C2 okay, but not C3
