    kernel - Enhance machdep.cpu_idle_hlt
    
    * Enhance machdep.cpu_idle_hlt.  It was not operating as advertised for
      settings 0 or 3+.  Add mode 5.
    
      0 - Now spins as documented (wasn't, before)
      1 - Uses MONITOR/MWAIT if supported, HLT otherwise
      2 - Uses mode (1) up to a point, then uses mode (3)
      3 - Always use the ACPI halt code.
      4 - Always use HLT (do not use MONITOR/MWAIT even if supported)
      5 - Always spin
    
    * Recode the default setting for AMD cpus (but no functional changes).
      Default setting is 3 for AMD.
