Now that ACPI processor idle driver supports LPI(Low Power Idle), lets
enable ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE for ARM64 too.

This patch just removes the IA64 and X86 dependency on ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE

No, that is used only for C-State and ARM64 doesn't support it.
Patch 1/5 puts all the C-State code under #ifdef so that it's not
compiled on ARM64.

Sorry, I don't follow what you mean by that.

Yes

Yes for LPI, it does start from 0.

Great. Thanks Sudeep !
