Hi!
It is very rare to find a current system which is both sufficiently
resource constrained to want to compile out power management support
and sufficiently power insensitive to be able to tolerate doing so.
Ok, how much memory do we talk about here?
Lots of embedded systems are AC powered or powered from some powerful
source -- such as alternator in car. PM can be unwanted complexity
there.
Ot maybe they are running under realtime hypervisor...
