Yes, Linux supports this Intel-specific feature.  I think it shouldn't 
be too hard for us, however.  We just have to add support for 
Intel-specific _CST FFH (Functional Fixed Hardware) in 
sys/dev/acpica/acpi_cpu.c.  You can find more information from "Intel 
Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI" (order number 302223-005) on Intel 
website.  Also, arch/x86/kernel/acpi/cstate.c of Linux source may 
help.  I believe Linux actually supports all Intel-specific FFHs, 
BTW.
