I.e. you would be encoding the counter unit as the suffix, might as well call it "power/cores.joules" and use the dot as the separator for the unit, but would be just a compact form to encode the counter->unit table. - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
