* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [2009-09-22 16:55:27]: Hi Len, (or other acpi folks), I had a question regarding ACPI-cpuidle interaction in the current implementation. Currently, every cpu (i.e. acpi_processor) registers to cpuidle as a cpuidle_device. So every cpu has to go through the process of setting up the idle states and then registering as a cpuidle device. What exactly is the reason behind this? Is this really necessary or can we have a system-wide one-time registering to cpuidle by ACPI? I'm currently in the process of enabling cpuidle for POWER systems and find that having a system-wide registering mechanism to be a cleaner design. --arun -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
