Xen devel - Apr 2010 - [PATCH]cpuidle: mwait on softirq_pending & remove wakeup ipis

cpuidle: mwait on softirq_pending & remove wakeup ipis

For cpu which enter deep C state via monitor/mwait, wakeup can be done by
writing to the monitored memory. So once monitor softirq_pending, we can remove
the redundant ipis.
