+Description:	Discover cpuidle policy and mechanism
+
+		Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are
+		differentiated by varying exit latencies and power
+		consumption during idle.
+
+		Idle policy (governor) is differentiated from idle mechanism
+		(driver)
+
+		current_driver: displays current idle mechanism
+
+		current_governor_ro: displays current idle policy
+
+		See files in Documentation/cpuidle/ for more information.
