* intel_idle: no longer EXPERIMENTALLen Brown2010-08-141-1/+0
| | | | | | This is a fully supported driver. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
* intel_idle: disable module supportLen Brown2010-08-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now the module capability is cauing more trouble than it is worth. At least one distro built intel_idle as a module where it lost the init race with ACPI, making it useless. Make intel_idle bool so that if you select it, you will use it. We can restore module capability after cpuidle is enhanced to handle run-time changing of idle drivers. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
* intel_idle: native hardware cpuidle driver for latest Intel processorsLen Brown2010-05-281-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

* i7300_idle driver v1.55Andy Henroid2008-10-211-0/+16
The Intel 7300 Memory Controller supports dynamic throttling of memory which can be used to save power when system is idle. This driver does the memory throttling when all CPUs are idle on such a system. Refer to "Intel 7300 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)" datasheet for the config space description.
