MFi386: revision 225936
Add some improvements in the idle table callbacks:
- Replace instances of manual assembly instruction "hlt" call
with halt() function calling.
- In cpu_idle_mwait() avoid races in check to sched_runnable() using
the same pattern used in cpu_idle_hlt() with the 'hlt' instruction.
- Add comments explaining the logic behind the pattern used in
cpu_idle_hlt() and other idle callbacks.
