Such letter suffixes can also be entirely omitted. Claim all unknown PCI IDE storage controllers. idle= [X86] - Format: idle=poll, idle=mwait, idle=halt, idle=nomwait + Format: idle=poll, idle=halt, idle=nomwait Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly improve the performance of waking up a idle CPU, but will use a lot of power and make the system run hot. Not recommended. - idle=mwait: On systems which support MONITOR/MWAIT but - the kernel chose to not use it because it doesn't save - as much power as a normal idle loop, use the - MONITOR/MWAIT idle loop anyways. Performance should be - the same as idle=poll. idle=halt: Halt is forced to be used for CPU idle. In such case C2/C3 won't be used again. idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states |
