This will also be true for the IBM 405LP (starting with the "Beech" eval board), which has a number of new PM features ( http://www.research.ibm.com/arl/projects/papers/405LP.pdf ). IBM has internally used a pm_idle function pointer a la i386, hoping that would be the community-accepted way, in case ya wanna add that to the suggestion pile, but I think any of the methods proposed would be fine. -- Todd ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
