+        Disable idle states higher than *n* for cpus that are running timerlat threads to
+        reduce exit from idle latencies. If *n* is -1, all idle states are disabled.
+        On exit from timerlat, the idle state setting is restored to its original state

         Use timerlat kernel-space threads, in contrast of **-u**.
