!3177 [OLK-6.6] Add MWAIT Cx support for Zhaoxin CPUs

Merge Pull Request from: @leoliu-oc 
 
When the processor is idle,low-power idle states (C-states) can be used to save power. For Zhaoxin processors,there are two methods to enter idle states. One is HLT instruction and legacy method of I/O reads from the
ACPI-defined register (known as P_LVLx),the other one is MWAIT instruction with idle states hints.

Default for legacy operating system,HLT and P_LVLx I/O reads are used for Zhaoxin Processors to enter idle states, but we have checked on some Zhaoxin platform that MWAIT instruction is more efficient than P_LVLx I/O
reads and HLT, so we add MWAIT Cx support for Zhaoxin Processors.

### Test
Pass: can use the MWAIT instruction to enter low-power idle states
