ACPI, cpuidle: Clarify C-state description in sysfs
Add a new sysfs entry under cpuidle states. desc - can be used by driver to
communicate to userspace any specific information about the state.
This helps in identifying the exact hardware C-states behind the ACPI C-state
definition.
Idea is to export this through powertop, which will help to map the C-state
reported by powertop to actual hardware C-state.
