+Description:
+ (RW) Option to disable this idle state (bool). The behavior and

+ 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.

+Description: Disable L3 cache indices
+
+ These files exist in every CPU's cache/index3 directory. Each
+ cache_disable_{0,1} file corresponds to one disable slot which
+ can be used to disable a cache index. Reading from these files
+ on a processor with this functionality will return the currently
+ disabled index for that node. There is one L3 structure per
+ node, or per internal node on MCM machines. Writing a valid
+ index to one of these files will cause the specificed cache
+ index to be disabled.
+
+ All AMD processors with L3 caches provide this functionality.

+Description: POWERNV CPUFreq driver's frequency throttle stats directory and

+ throttle stat attributes for the chip. The throttle stats of a cpu
+ is common across all the cpus belonging to a chip. Below are the
+ throttle attributes exported in the 'throttle_stats' directory:
+
+ - turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the max
+ frequency is throttled to lower frequency in turbo (at and above
+ nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
+
+ - sub_turbo_stat : This file gives the total number of times the
+ max frequency is throttled to lower frequency in sub-turbo(below
+ nominal frequency) range of frequencies.
+
+ - unthrottle : This file gives the total number of times the max
+ frequency is unthrottled after being throttled.
+
+ - powercap : This file gives the total number of times the max
+ frequency is throttled due to 'Power Capping'.
+
+ - overtemp : This file gives the total number of times the max
+ frequency is throttled due to 'CPU Over Temperature'.
+
+ - supply_fault : This file gives the total number of times the
+ max frequency is throttled due to 'Power Supply Failure'.
+
+ - overcurrent : This file gives the total number of times the
+ max frequency is throttled due to 'Overcurrent'.
+
+ - occ_reset : This file gives the total number of times the max
+ frequency is throttled due to 'OCC Reset'.
+
+ The sysfs attributes representing different throttle reasons like
+ powercap, overtemp, supply_fault, overcurrent and occ_reset map to
+ the reasons provided by OCC firmware for throttling the frequency.

+Description: SPURR ticks for this CPU since the system boot.
+
+ The Scaled Processor Utilization Resources Register
+ (SPURR) is a 64-bit counter that provides a frequency
+ invariant estimate of the resources used by the CPU
+ thread. The contents of this register increases
+ monotonically. This sysfs interface exposes the number
+ of SPURR ticks for cpuX.
