expose MWAIT to dom0
There''re basically two methods to enter a given C-state: legacy (hlt + I/O read),
and native(using mwait). MWAIT is always preferred when both underlying CPU
and OS support, which is a more efficient way to conduct C-state transition.
Xen PM relies on Dom0 to parse ACPI Cx/Px information, which involves one
step to notify BIOS about a set of capabilities supported by OSPM. One capability
