Subject: [PATCH] arch/arm/kernel: use cpu_relax() in halt loops
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 23:48:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101214224848.GA1706@debian.debian> (raw)

Looking throught arch/arm/kernel/ I found some halt loops.
I just thought we could save some power here using cpu_relax(),
or am I missing something?
