Expose Power Management Policy option to users
This patch will modify the scsi subsystem to allow
users to set a power management policy for the link.
The scsi subsystem will create a new sysfs file for each
host in /sys/class/scsi_host called "link_power_management_policy".
This file can have 3 possible values:
Value Meaning
-------------------------------------------------------------------
min_power User wishes the link to conserve power as much as
possible, even at the cost of some performance
max_performance User wants priority to be on performance, not power
savings
medium_power User wants power savings, with less performance cost
than min_power (but less power savings as well).

+This parameter allows the user to set the link (interface) power management.
+There are 3 possible options:
+
+Value Effect
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+min_power Tell the controller to try to make the link use the
+ least possible power when possible. This may
+ sacrifice some performance due to increased latency
+ when coming out of lower power states.
+
+max_performance Generally, this means no power management. Tell

+
+medium_power Tell the controller to enter a lower power state
+ when possible, but do not enter the lowest power
+ state, thus improving latency over min_power setting.
