+		Supporting multiple CPU idle levels in kernel
+
+				cpuidle
+
+General Information:
+
+Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are differentiated
+by varying exit latencies and power consumption during idle.
+cpuidle is a generic in-kernel infrastructure that separates
+idle policy (governor) from idle mechanism (driver) and provides a
+standardized infrastructure to support independent development of
+governors and drivers.
+
+cpuidle resides under drivers/cpuidle.
+
+Boot options:
+"cpuidle_sysfs_switch"
+enables current_governor interface in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/,
+which can be used to switch governors at run time. This boot option
+is meant for developer testing only. In normal usage, kernel picks the
+best governor based on governor ratings.
+SEE ALSO: sysfs.txt in this directory.

+
+cpuidle driver hooks into the cpuidle infrastructure and handles the
+architecture/platform dependent part of CPU idle states. Driver
+provides the platform idle state detection capability and also
+has mechanisms in place to support actual entry-exit into CPU idle states.
+
+cpuidle driver initializes the cpuidle_device structure for each CPU device
+and registers with cpuidle using cpuidle_register_device.
+
+If all the idle states are the same, the wrapper function cpuidle_register
+could be used instead.
+
+It can also support the dynamic changes (like battery <-> AC), by using
+cpuidle_pause_and_lock, cpuidle_disable_device and cpuidle_enable_device,
+cpuidle_resume_and_unlock.

+				cpuidle governors
+
+
+
+
+cpuidle governor is policy routine that decides what idle state to enter at
+any given time. cpuidle core uses different callbacks to the governor.
+
+* enable() to enable governor for a particular device
+* disable() to disable governor for a particular device
+* select() to select an idle state to enter
+* reflect() called after returning from the idle state, which can be used
+  by the governor for some record keeping.
+
+More than one governor can be registered at the same time and
+users can switch between drivers using /sysfs interface (when enabled).
+More than one governor part is supported for developers to easily experiment
+with different governors. By default, most optimal governor based on your
+kernel configuration and platform will be selected by cpuidle.

+* desc : Small description about the idle state (string)
+* disable : Option to disable this idle state (bool) -> see note below
+* latency : Latency to exit out of this idle state (in microseconds)
+* residency : Time after which a state becomes more effecient than any
+  shallower state (in microseconds)
+* name : Name of the idle state (string)
+* power : Power consumed while in this idle state (in milliwatts)
+* time : Total time spent in this idle state (in microseconds)
+* usage : Number of times this state was entered (count)
+
+Note:
+The behavior and the effect of the disable variable depends on the
+implementation of a particular governor. In the ladder governor, for
+example, it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling a light state,
+then all deeper states are disabled as well, but the disable variable
+does not reflect it. Likewise, if one enables a deep state but a lighter
+state still is disabled, then this has no effect.
