MFi386: revision 178471

 - Add an integer argument to idle to indicate how likely we are to wake
   from idle over the next tick.
 - Add a new MD routine, cpu_wake_idle() to wakeup idle threads who are
   suspended in cpu specific states.  This function can fail and cause the
   scheduler to fall back to another mechanism (ipi).
 - Implement support for mwait in cpu_idle() on i386/amd64 machines that
   support it.  mwait is a higher performance way to synchronize cpus
   as compared to hlt & ipis.
 - Allow selecting the idle routine by name via sysctl machdep.idle.  This
   replaces machdep.cpu_idle_hlt.  Only idle routines supported by the
   current machine are permitted.
