Hi Len,
Rafael: What I said is that it was too late to change the interpretation of
'current_now' in the case when energy units were used.
My patch does not change interpretation of 'current_now' in the case when energy units are used.
It only adds _new_ power_now and power_avg attributes in this case.
I hope it is clear now.
Regards,
Alex.

Although we've had this patch in the test tree for a bit,
I don't think that any amount of aging in -next will help us here.
Is it possible to put the add the new attribute immediately,
get buy-in from the user-space guys,
and then remove the old attribute in a subsequent patch?
Actually this is what patch did -- it only mentioned feature removal.
Attached is the patch with no mention of removal schedule at all.
thanks,
