[PATCH 2.6.25-rc3] processor_idle: fixed CPU 'active state' stably remain C0 by cat /proc

[youquan_song]

If cpuidle module is enabled by CONFIG_CPU_IDEL=y,user can check CPU idle
information by both /proc and /sys. The two interface keep consistent
except 'active state'. enabling cpuidle will not record CPU active  state
any more, so if we run 'cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power', we will get
the 'active state' stably remain C0. This is different from user
experience and the case that cpuidle disable by CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=n.

This patch will fix the bug by record the specail C state when CPU is
going to enter to C state. we run 'cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power'
and we will watch the CPU 'active state' change keeping the same with the
cpu real work.
