Re: An embedded-Linux power-management framework

Hi!

Take a look at cpufreq. The processor speed/voltage side is a solved
problem with working code for x86 and ARM processors including the
framework to adjust other devices. For example on ARM you have to frob
with the RAM clocks. Cpufreq deals with it nicely both from user and
kernel sides

In terms of per process settings please read US patent 6,298,448.

Hmm.. like moving outside U.S.? ;-)

[OTOH, IBM might be big enough to buy the pattent and put it in PD or
(preferably) prove there was prior work / prove it was trivial and
invalidate that.]
