[PATCH] x86: Don't use MWAIT on AMD Family 10
It doesn't put the CPU into deeper sleep states, so it's better to use the standard idle loop to save power. But allow to reenable it anyways for benchmarking. I also removed the obsolete idle=halt on i386 Cc: andreas.herrmann@amd.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
