I'm not sure whether this three level knob would be sufficient. It might be good enough if we're gonna develop extensive in-kernel black/white list specifying which method works on which combination but my gut tells me that it's best left to userland (probably in the form of per-notebook PS profile). Adding to the fun, there are quite a few broken devices out there which act weirdly when link PS actions are taken. Also, I generally don't think AHCI ALPM is a good idea. It doesn't have 'cool down' period before entering PS state which unnecessarily hampers performance and might increase chance of device malfunction. So, mild NACK from me. -- tejun - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
