ACPI: Only use IPI on known broken machines (AMD, Dothan/BaniasPentium M)

Browse Source 
Use IPI for blacklisted CPUs, add parameter IPI vs LAPIC

Currently, Linux disables lapic timer for all machines with C2 and higher
C-state support.

According to Intel only specific Intel models (Banias/Dothan) are broken
in respect of not waking up from C2 with lapic.

However, I am not sure about the naming of the parameter and how it
could/should get integrated into the dyntick part
(CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS). There, a more fine grained check (TSC
still running?, ..) is needed? Does this make sense (always use
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON, but use OFF if forced by use_ipi=0:
clockevents_notify(use_ipi ? CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ON :
CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_OFF, &pr->id);
