Prior to commit 496121c02127e9c460b436244c38260b044cc45a ("ACPI: processor:
idle: Allow probing on platforms with one ACPI C-state"), the acpi_idle
driver wouldn't load on systems without a valid C-State at least as deep
as C2. The behavior was desirable for guests on hypervisors such as VMWare
ESXi, which by default don't have the _CST ACPI method, and set the C2 and
C3 latencies to 101 and 1001 microseconds respectively via the FADT, to
signify they're unsupported.

Since the above change though, these virtualized deployments end up loading
acpi_idle, and thus entering the default C1 C-State set by
acpi_processor_get_power_info_default(); this is undesirable for a system
that's communicating to the OS it doesn't want C-States (missing _CST, and
invalid C2/C3 in FADT).

Make acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt() return ENODEV in that case, so
that acpi_processor_get_cstate_info() exits early and doesn't set
pr->flags.power = 1.

I think we can clean up a bit more. How about the patch below?

What if some states are skipped because they are invalid?  'working'
can be less than 'i' then AFAICS.
