Merge tag 'x86_cpu_for_v6.0_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 cpu updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Remove the vendor check when selecting MWAIT as the default idle
state
- Respect idle=nomwait when supplied on the kernel cmdline
- Two small cleanups
* tag 'x86_cpu_for_v6.0_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/cpu: Use MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE constants
x86: Fix comment for X86_FEATURE_ZEN
x86: Remove vendor checks from prefer_mwait_c1_over_halt
x86: Handle idle=nomwait cmdline properly for x86_idle
