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. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

intel_idle: disable module support 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>

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.
i7300_idle driver v1.55 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.

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.
