+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.
