cpuidle: create bootparam "cpuidle.off=1"
useful for disabling cpuidle to fall back to architecture-default idle loop cpuidle drivers and governors will fail to register. on x86 they'll say so: intel_idle: intel_idle yielding to (null) ACPI: acpi_idle yielding to (null) Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
