'powerpc' would be very generic arch and would comprise of all platforms including embedded 32/64 bit to server 64 bit (similar to that of ARM). This driver does not intend to support complete powerpc arch, but just PSERIES and POWERNV platforms termed as 'POWER' processors. So to avoid confusion btw 'power mgmt' and 'POWER' archs, I have prefixed both the driver and file names with 'IBM'namely ibm-power-driver, cpuidle-ibm-power.
Why not book3s ? powerpc-book3s ? That's what we use in other places to differenciate between the families Ben.
