Hi All,

Anybody help me review this?

Thanks,

When cpuidle_idle_call() return 0, it shows that linux system is using
idle framwork driver. Now, local irq has already been enabled in
cpuidle_idle_call(). So, it need not enable local irq again, when return 0.

The code is introduced by commit:
97a5b81fa4d3a11dcdf224befc577f2e0abadc0b ("x86: Fix idle consolidation fallout")
In that defect, it does not use idle framework driver, just call 
amd_e400_idle().
That problem is that amd_e400_idle() does not enable irq.
