x86 idle floppy: deprecate disable_hlt()
Plan to remove floppy_disable_hlt in 2012, an ancient
workaround with comments that it should be removed.
This allows us to remove clutter and a run-time branch
from the idle code.
WARN_ONCE() on invocation until it is removed.

cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x
