intel_idle: Add a new flag to initialize the AMX state
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The non-initialized AMX state can be the cause of C-state demotion from C6
to C1E. This low-power idle state may improve power savings and thus result
in a higher available turbo frequency budget.

This behavior is implementation-specific. Initialize the state for the C6
entrance of Sapphire Rapids as needed.
