[RFC]: [PATCH] Export cpuidle_(un)register_governor

["Jan-Simon Möller" <dl9pf@gmx.de>]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 551 bytes --]

Hi all!

This patch exports cpuidle_register_governor and cpuidle_unregister_governor
with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL (as the other cpuidle_(un)register_* ).

Reasoning: allow runtime loading of a cpuidle governor (mainly for
development for now).

Usually we don't need this as we're using built-ins for the governors - but
during developments it is really handy to load and unload a cpuidle governor
(together with the cpuidle_sysfs_switch).

Comments ?

Best,
Jan-Simon
