This patch is about the bug that VMs can't idle. ACRN enables VM's C-state by extracting host's C-state table. The C-state table has two types of interfaces: system-IO and mwait. VMs just need one of them. ACRN can support both. Currently we are telling users to use the system-IO type. That is, by adding 'nomwait intel_idle.max_cstate=0' to host Linux's CMD line when using board_inspector. (The reaseon we were using system-IO is that mwait was buggy on Apollo Lake.) But recent tests show that system-IO is somehow buggy. Linux c-state driver(no matter intel_cstate or acpi_cstate) fails to enter idle state with system-IO. This can always be reproduced on native environments. MPERF counters show CPU cores are not in real idle state as expected. To enable C-state in VMs, we have to switch to mwait. As ACRN has already supported both system-IO and mwait, we don't have to modify any code. We just need to tell user to use mwait instead of system-IO. That is, don't add 'nomwait intel_idle.max_cstate=0' to host Linux's CMD line when using board_inspector. Just add 'intel_idle.max_cstate=0' Due to the Apollo Lake's mwait bug, 'nomwait' is still needed for Apollo Lake as an exception.

Supporting libraries of ACRN configuration toolset
This package contains the libraries supporting ACRN configuration toolset, including:
- The manipulators and validators of scenario schemas or XMLs
- The generator of guest ACPI tables
The main objective of this package is to ease the import of the supporting libraries in the ACRN configurator which uses a Python interpreter built in WebAssembly (WASM). This package is thus NOT intended to be used by users; invoke the Python scripts directly if needed.
