Interesting point, and I freely admit that I don't have full knowledge
of the energy-consumption characteristics of all the architectures that
Linux supports. Adding a few of the ARM guys on CC for their take,
plus linux-rt-users.
If there are no objections, I will delete point 2 above as Arjan suggests.
