From: Hans de Goede hdegoede@redhat.com

commit ebb82e3c79d2a956366d0848304a53648bd6350b upstream.

On many laptops setting a different LPM policy then unknown / max_performance can lead to power-savings of 1.0 - 1.5 Watts (when idle).

Modern ultrabooks idle around 6W (at 50% screen brightness), 1.0 - 1.5W is a significant chunk of this.

There are some performance / latency costs to enabling LPM by default, so it is desirable to make it possible to set a different LPM policy for mobile / laptop variants of chipsets / "South Bridges" vs their desktop / server counterparts. Also enabling LPM by default is not entirely without risk of regressions. At least min_power is known to cause issues with some disks, including some reports of data corruption.

This commits adds a new ahci.mobile_lpm_policy kernel cmdline option, which defaults to a new SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY Kconfig option so that Linux distributions can choose to set a LPM policy for mobile chipsets by default.

The reason to have both a kernel cmdline option and a Kconfig default value for it, is to allow easy overriding of the default to allow trouble-shooting without needing to rebuild the kernel.
