[patch 07/19] ACPI: Add state propagation for dynamic broadcasting

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

This is a preparatory patch for high resolution timers and dynticks.

The local APIC timer is fast and per CPU, but it gets stopped in C3 state.
On some broken systems, especially AMD based ones it gets stopped in C2. This
also affects akpm's jinxed VAIO.

The broadcast function informs the local APIC management code that a state
which stops the local APIC is going to be entered/exited. This switches the
local APIC timer to the PIT broadcast mode. The clockevents layer takes care
of the distribution of events.

The lapic_timer_idle_broadcast() function is an empty inline for now, which
will be replaced by the later clockevents patches for the affected
architectures.
