From: Deepthi Dharwar Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:47:03 +0000 (+0000) Subject: powerpc/cpuidle: Handle power_save=off X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e8bb3e00cff93ef2a0cfc09c3294aa37b4737e09;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git powerpc/cpuidle: Handle power_save=off This patch makes pseries_idle_driver not to be registered when power_save=off kernel boot option is specified. The cpuidle_disable variable used here is similar to its usage on x86. If cpuidle_disable is set then sysfs entries for cpuidle framework are not created and the required drivers are not loaded.
