+ * latency.c: Explicit system-wide latency-expectation infrastructure
+ *
+ * The purpose of this infrastructure is to allow device drivers to set
+ * latency constraint they have and to collect and summarize these
+ * expectations globally. The cummulated result can then be used by
+ * power management and similar users to make decisions that have
+ * tradoffs with a latency component.
+ *
+ * An example user of this are the x86 C-states; each higher C state saves
+ * more power, but has a higher exit latency. For the idle loop power
+ * code to make a good decision which C-state to use, information about
+ * acceptable latencies is required.
+ *
+ * An example announcer of latency is an audio driver that knowns it
+ * will get an interrupt when the hardware has 200 usec of samples
+ * left in the DMA buffer; in that case the driver can set a latency
+ * constraint of, say, 150 usec.
+ *
+ * Multiple drivers can each announce their maximum accepted latency,
+ * to keep these appart, a string based identifier is used.
