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
