Subject: Re: [Patch] idle governor: Avoid lock acquisition to read pm_qos
 before entering idle

> Signed-off-by: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@...ux.intel.com>

Patch looks good to me. Thanks Tim.

I expect this will also improve other pm-qos users, but of course they
are likely not as frequently used as the idle governour.

(and before anyone makes jokes about optimizing the idle loop: idle 
latency is very important for workloads with lots of wakeups out of
idle)
