I think that this really should have been a separate commit.

Besides it is a POLA violation for those who may parse output of this sysctl for
whatever reason.
Additionally, it would seem to be better to have sub-tree per state per CPU
where all the important/interesting characteristics of the state are exposed.
So this part of this commit seems like a half-measure.

This all has been recently discussed on acpi@ :-)
