Desktop/Server boxes normally don't have any deeper C states than C1
and C1 is just the traditional "HLT" instruction and doesn't need
ACPI support at all and is usually not described in ACPI tables
when it's the only state.

The BIOS options likely just control what the BIOS' SMM handler does
hidden inside C1.
