+ depends on CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND && X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ && CPU_SUP_AMD
+ help
+ This adds AMD-specific powersave bias function to the ondemand
+ governor, which allows it to make more power-conscious frequency
+ change decisions based on feedback from hardware (availble on AMD
+ Family 16h and above).
+
+ Hardware feedback tells software how "sensitive" to frequency changes
+ the CPUs' workloads are. CPU-bound workloads will be more sensitive
+ -- they will perform better as frequency increases. Memory/IO-bound
+ workloads will be less sensitive -- they will not necessarily perform
+ better as frequency increases.
+
+ If in doubt, say N.
