With this config, usually we can add "nohlt" in command line to force
the cpu will never be powered off; so can quickly narrow down if some
issues are related with cpuidle or not.
And if CPU is powered off, then its debug logic also will be powered off.
So we can simply use this method to let debugger always hot connect with
the target CPU.
Thanks,
Leo Yan
