smp_call_function() only lets all other CPUs execute specific
function, while we expect all CPUs do in intel_idle. Without
the fix, we could have one cpu has auto_demotion enabled or
has no boradcast timer setup. Usually we don't see impact
because auto demotion just harms power and the intel_idle init
is called in CPU 0, where boradcast timer delivers interrupt,
but this still could be a problem.

has any comments on these? NACK or merge?
