x86_cstate

Description

The methods in this interface can be used to read or change the current power state the CPU is in. A state value of 0 corresponds to C0, a value of 1 corresponds to C1, etc. HLT will be reported as state 1, substate 0. MWAIT will reported based upon the eax hint, decoded as state = (eax[7:4] + 1) mod 16, substate = eax[3:0].

set_cstate will perform side-effects such as putting the processor to sleep or waking it up, and call the registered cstate listeners.
