---------------------------
What: x86 floppy disable_hlt
When: 2012
Why: ancient workaround of dubious utility clutters the
code used by everybody else.
Who: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
---------------------------
What: CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE, and its ability to call APM BIOS in idle
When: 2012
Why: This optional sub-feature of APM is of dubious reliability,
and ancient APM laptops are likely better served by calling HLT.
Deleting CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE allows x86 to stop exporting
the pm_idle function pointer to modules.
Who: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
----------------------------
What: x86_32 "no-hlt" cmdline param
When: 2012
Why: remove a branch from idle path, simplify code used by everybody.
This option disabled the use of HLT in idle and machine_halt()
for hardware that was flakey 15-years ago. Today we have
"idle=poll" that removed HLT from idle, and so if such a machine
is still running the upstream kernel, "idle=poll" is likely sufficient.
