Prior to 3.1 we did have a solution for this - we would use the default_idle
and not pick and/choose one based on the CPUID flags.
It was not really a choice made by "hypervisor wrongly advertises the
MWAIT flag", but rather that we want to use the safe_halt, which ends up
calling the yield hypercall.
That is the optimal solution irregardless of what version of hypervisor
is being used.
