+		Supporting multiple CPU idle levels in kernel
+
+				cpuidle sysfs
+
+System global cpuidle related information and tunables are under
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle
+
+The current interfaces in this directory has self-explanatory names:
+* current_driver
+* current_governor_ro
+
+With cpuidle_sysfs_switch boot option (meant for developer testing)
+following objects are visible instead.
+* current_driver
+* available_governors
+* current_governor
+In this case users can switch the governor at run time by writing
+to current_governor.
+
+
+Per logical CPU specific cpuidle information are under
+/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle
+for each online cpu X
