Just an idea. Limits of 100 and 1000 are defined for detection of
C-states using P_LVLx_LAT registers. Because _CST explicitly specifies
which states are available, these limitations may not apply there. I
would try to comment these checks in acpi_cpu_cx_cst() and look what
happen. At least I haven't found in ACPI 3.0 specification any latency
limits applied to _CST.
