Len Brown 6ce9cd8669 intel_idle: disable module support
Right now the module capability is cauing more trouble
than it is worth.  At least one distro built intel_idle as a module
where it lost the init race with ACPI, making it useless.

Make intel_idle bool so that if you select it, you will use it.

We can restore module capability after cpuidle is enhanced
to handle run-time changing of idle drivers.

Enable intel_idle, a cpuidle driver that includes knowledge of
native Intel hardware idle features. The acpi_idle driver
can be configured at the same time, in order to handle
processors intel_idle does not support.

help
Enable memory power savings when idle with certain Intel server
chipsets. The chipset must have I/O AT support, such as the
Intel 7300. The power savings depends on the type and quantity of
DRAM devices.
