'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.
Hi Ben,
Why not book3s ? powerpc-book3s ?
I went with 'ibm-power' thinking it would resolve the confusion,
but if ppl feel that is is good to get away from 'POWER' and have
powerpc-book3s instead to make things clearer, I am open for it.

That's what we use in other places to differenciate between the families
