[RFC PATCH 05/10] alpha: Primitive support for CPU power down.

From: Richard Henderson
Date: Tue Jul 16 2013 - 13:36:49 EST


Use WTINT to wait for the next interrupt. Squash the WTINT call
if the PALcode doesn't support it (e.g. MILO). No attempt is yet
made to skip clock ticks during normal scheduling in order to stay
in power down mode longer.
