[PATCH 2/6] powerpc, powernv, CPU hotplug: Put offline CPUs in Fast-Sleep instead of Nap

Wed May 28 14:38:56 EST 2014


From: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The offline cpus are put to fast sleep if the idle state is discovered in the
device tree. This is to gain maximum powersavings in the offline state.
