ACPI: Create "idle=halt" bootparam

Browse Source 
"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using
the halt instruction.  No MWAIT, no IO accesses,
no C-states deeper than C1.

If something is broken in the idle code,
"idle=halt" is a less severe workaround
than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.

In such case C2/C3 won't be used again.
