From c1e3b377ad48febba6f91b8ae42c44ee4d4ab45e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhao Yakui Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:58:53 +0800 Subject: ACPI: Create "idle=halt" bootparam "idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using the halt instruction. No MWAIT, no IO accesses, no C-states deeper than C1. If something is broken in the idle code, "idle=halt" is a less severe workaround than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.
