Len Brown 447cc37695 ACPI: skip checking BM_STS if the BIOS doesn't ask for it
commit 718be4aaf3 upstream.

It turns out that there is a bit in the _CST for Intel FFH C3
that tells the OS if we should be checking BM_STS or not.

Linux has been unconditionally checking BM_STS.
If the chip-set is configured to enable BM_STS,
it can retard or completely prevent entry into
deep C-states -- as illustrated by turbostat:

ref: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface Specification
table 4 "_CST FFH GAS Field Encoding"
Bit 1: Set to 1 if OSPM should use Bus Master avoidance for this C-state
