Subject: [PATCH] Delete some unusefull operations for centaur CPU/platform
Date:   Fri, 2 Mar 2018 12:11:48 +0800

Precedence: bulk

For Centaur CPU, the ucode will make sure that each CPU core can keep cache
coherency with each other when the CPU core entering to any C state. So the
cache flush operations when enter C3 is not necessary and will cause large
C3 enter/exit latency.
And the bus master disable operation when CPU core entering C3 state is not
needed too. Because the chipset will automatically do this operation.
