Re: [patch 2a/3] Expose Power Management Policy option to users

[Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen.c.accardi@intel.com>]

Expose Power Management Policy option to users

This patch will modify the scsi subsystem to allow
users to set a power management policy for the link.

The scsi subsystem will create a new sysfs file for each
host in /sys/class/scsi_host called "link_power_management_policy".
This file can have 3 possible values:

Value		Meaning
-------------------------------------------------------------------
min_power	User wishes the link to conserve power as much as
		possible, even at the cost of some performance

max_performance User wants priority to be on performance, not power
		savings

medium_power	User wants power savings, with less performance cost
		than min_power (but less power savings as well).

+This parameter allows the user to set the link (interface) power management.
+There are 3 possible options:
+
+Value			Effect
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+min_power		Tell the controller to try to make the link use the
+			least possible power when possible.  This may
+			sacrifice some performance due to increased latency
+			when coming out of lower power states.
+
+max_performance		Generally, this means no power management.  Tell

+
+medium_power		Tell the controller to enter a lower power state
+			when possible, but do not enter the lowest power
+			state, thus improving latency over min_power setting.
