Re: [PATCH] tracing, perf: add more power related events

[Thomas Renninger <trenn@xxxxxxx>]

power-trace: Use power_switch_state instead of power_start and power_end

No need to have power_start and power_end. power_switch_state of state=0
means we exited power saving state. Userspace has all the information
it needs to detect power enter/exit case.

Export it, so that intel_idle can make use of it, even if compiled as module.
