Hi Len,
We would like to know as to when the patch that completely removes
pm_idle for x86 "cpuidle: stop using pm_idle" and that which introduces
bootparam cpuidle.off "cpuidle: create bootparam cpuidle.off=1"
be pushed ? Are there any dependencies that needs to be addressed
before queuing it up for the next merge window ? If yes, can you please
let us know what the dependencies are. We need these patches for running
cpuidle driver for pseries.
