[issue2180] ACPI Cx state missing

New submission from Johannes Hofmann <Johannes.Hofmann at gmx.de>:

On a Thinkpad T410s with Core i5 the C2 state (latency 205)
is skipped due to the latency check in acpi_cpu_cstate.c.
The patch below (taken from FreeBSD) fixes it.
FreeBSD comment:

SVN rev 212549 on 2010-09-13 09:51:24Z by avg

acpi_cpu: do not apply P_LVLx_LAT rules to latencies returned by _CST

ACPI specification sates that if P_LVL2_LAT > 100, then a system
doesn't
support C2; if P_LVL3_LAT > 1000, then C3 is not supported.
But there are no such rules for Cx state data returned by _CST.  If a
state is not supported it should not be included into the return
package.  In other words, any latency value returned by _CST is valid,
it's up to the OS and/or user to decide whether to use it.
