Let me explain the challenge I am facing. A prototype powerpc platform that I work with has the capability to transition memory banks to content-preserving low-power states at a per-socket granularity. What that means is that we can get memory power savings*without* needing to go to full-system-idle, unlike Intel platforms such as Sandybridge.
btw this is not a correct statement even Sandybridge can put memory in low power states (just not self refresh) even if the system is not idle (depending on bios settings to enable this) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
