[PATCH] Longhaul - Option to disable ACPI C3 support

[PATCH] Longhaul - Option to disable ACPI C3 support

[Rafał Bilski]

On some motherboards ACPI C3 is available, but it isn't
causing frequency transition on VIA Nehemiah. Longhaul
wasn't working at all earlier, but due to
scaling_cur_speed returning true CPU frequency now, it
looks like CPU is getting stuck at highest frequency
since 2.6.21. I didn't find a reason. Halt is causing 
frequency transition.
