From e92716f2aa68cdfbf6ec24d6f31f08b072e1a246 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jerone Young Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2008 05:03:33 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] [POWERPC] 4xx: Add idle wait support for 44x platforms This changes the cpu_idle loop for 44x platforms to utilize the Wait Enable feature of the CPU. This helps virtulization solutions know when the guest Linux kernel is in an idle state. A command line option called "idle" is also added to allow people to change the idle loop back to the original variation. This is done by setting "idle=spin" on the kernel command line.
