Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] nvme power saving

Hi all-

Here's v1 of the APST patch set.  The biggest bikesheddable thing (I
think) is the scaling factor.  I currently have it hardcoded so that
we wait 50x the total latency before entering a power saving state.
On my Samsung 950, this means we enter state 3 (70mW, 0.5ms entry
latency, 5ms exit latency) after 275ms and state 4 (5mW, 2ms entry
latency, 22ms exit latency) after 1200ms.  I have the default max
latency set to 25ms.

FWIW, in practice, the latency this introduces seems to be well
under 22ms, but my benchmark is a bit silly and I might have
measured it wrong.  I certainly haven't observed a slowdown just
using my laptop.

Changes from v1:
 - Get rid of feature buffer alignment warnings.
 - Change the error message if NPSS is bogus.
 - Rename apst_max_latency_ns to apst_max_latency_us because module params
   don't like u64 or unsigned long long and I wanted to make it fit more
   comfortably in a ulong module param.  (And the nanoseconds were useless.)
 - Add a module parameter for the default max latency.

Andy Lutomirski (3):
  nvme/scsi: Remove power management support
  nvme: Pass pointers, not dma addresses, to nvme_get/set_features()
  nvme: Enable autonomous power state transitions
