    kernel - Change cpu_idle_hlt default
    
    * Set cpu_idle_hlt default to 1 for Intel Haswell or later cpus.  These
      cpus do major power management in the HLT instruction.
    
      Leave cpu_idle_hlt default at 2 for AMD cpus or older Intel cpus.
      These cpus do not do major management in the HLT instruction and ACPI
      entry is required to reduce idle power consumption.
