[Impact]
Sub-optimal ethernet performance on Intel JSL and EHL platform with
Realtek PCIe NIC.

Iperf shows the network throughput can only reach around 75% of 

[Fix]
The CPU idle state transition C1 -> C1E -> C0 overhead can be too high,
so disabling C1E to increase the IRQ latency and DMA speed.

[Test]
With the patch applied, iperf shows over 95% of network throughput
consistently.

[Where problems could occur]
Disabling C1E can theoretically increase power consumption slightly.
