I wonder whether this one should get documented at all.

Better would be to work towards a general cpuidle.max_state=
param which deprecates processor.max_cstate= (acpi_idle driver) and
intel_idle.max_cstate= and enables this functionality for all
other cpuidle drivers out there as well.

Something to turn off intel_idle driver and favor the acpi_idle
driver for debugging would still be needed then.
