[PATCH 2/2] Export not_critical_when_idle feature in workqueue and use it in ondemand

2007-03-16 Thread Venkatesh Pallipadi
Add a new not_critical_when_idle parameter to queue_delayed_work_on(). This parameter can be used to schedule work that are 'unimportant' when CPU is idle and can be called later, when CPU eventually comes out of idle. Use this parameter in cpufreq ondemand governor. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh
