The recently introduced haltpoll driver is largely only useful with haltpoll governor. To allow drivers to associate with a particular idle behaviour, add a @governor property to 'struct cpuidle_driver' and thus allow a cpuidle driver to switch to a *preferred* governor on idle driver registration. We save the previous governor, and when an idle driver is unregistered we switch back to that. The @governor can be overridden by cpuidle.governor= boot param or alternatively be ignored if the governor doesn't exist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
