[PATCH 5/6] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Put KVM standby hwthreads to fast-sleep instead of nap

Wed May 28 14:39:31 EST 2014


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

Now that the support for fast sleep idle state is present, allow
the KVM standby threads to go to fast sleep if the platform supports
it.This will fetch us maximum power savings if an entire core is idle.
