Correct! That solves the issue with the statically defined C-states.
The (dynamic) per C-state sysfs disable knob requires a runtime check
on .disable though, in case the cpuidle chosen C-state is demoted
(depending on the value of enable_off_mode and later the latency
constraints on the power domain).
