[PATCH 16/18] 2.6.40: x86 idle APM: remove deprecated apm_cpu_idle()

[Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org>]

From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

There is some doubt whether the APM idle feature
to call into the BIOS from the idle loop is reliable.
Certainly it was known to fail on some machines,
but more importantly, APM machines have not shipped
for a decade and so finding machines to test the code
is problematic.

After this patch, systems running in APM mode will
simply run default_idle() and HALT without calling
into the BIOS from their idle loop.

This deletes modular use use of (pm_idle)() and default_idle().
