Arjan van de Ven 498a84db83 ACPI: fix High cpu temperature with 2.6.32
commit 370d5cd885 upstream.

Since the rewrite of the CPU idle governor in 2.6.32, two laptops have
surfaced where the BIOS advertises a C2 power state, but for some reason
this state is not functioning (as verified in both cases by powertop
before the patch in .32).

The old governor had the accidental behavior that if a non-working state
was chosen too many times, it would end up falling back to C1.  The new
governor works differently and this accidental behavior is no longer
there; the result is a high temperature on these two machines.

This patch adds these 2 machines to the DMI table for C state anomalies;
by just not using C2 both these machines are better off (the TSC can be
used instead of the pm timer, giving a performance boost for example).
