[PATCH 2/9] cpuidle: Rename X86 specific idle poll state[0] from C0 to POLL

From: Thomas Renninger <hidden>
Date: 2011-01-07 10:30:14
Also in: linux-acpi, lkml
Subsystem: cpu idle time management framework, the rest · Maintainers: "Rafael J. Wysocki", Daniel Lezcano, Linus Torvalds

C0 means and is well know as "not idle".
All documentation out there uses this term as "running"/"not idle"
state. Also Linux userspace tools (e.g. cpufreq-aperf and turbostat)
show C0 residency which there is correct, but means something totally
else than cpuidle "POLL" state.
