- * 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.
