Len Brown 2671717265 intel_idle: native hardware cpuidle driver for latest Intel processors
This EXPERIMENTAL driver supersedes acpi_idle on
Intel Atom Processors, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
and associated Intel Xeon processors.

It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier.

For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver.
Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle
and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle".

Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early,
making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms.

intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time.
Processors that are hot-added later will be limited
to using C1 in idle.

Enable intel_idle, a cpuidle driver that includes knowledge of
native Intel hardware idle features. The acpi_idle driver
can be configured at the same time, in order to handle
processors intel_idle does not support.

help
Enable memory power savings when idle with certain Intel server
chipsets. The chipset must have I/O AT support, such as the
Intel 7300. The power savings depends on the type and quantity of
DRAM devices.
