/*
* latency.c: Explicit system-wide latency-expectation infrastructure
*
* The purpose of this infrastructure is to allow device drivers to set
* latency constraint they have and to collect and summarize these
* expectations globally. The cummulated result can then be used by
* power management and similar users to make decisions that have
* tradoffs with a latency component.
*
* An example user of this are the x86 C-states; each higher C state saves
* more power, but has a higher exit latency. For the idle loop power
* code to make a good decision which C-state to use, information about
* acceptable latencies is required.
*
* An example announcer of latency is an audio driver that knowns it
* will get an interrupt when the hardware has 200 usec of samples
* left in the DMA buffer; in that case the driver can set a latency
* constraint of, say, 150 usec.
*
* Multiple drivers can each announce their maximum accepted latency,
* to keep these appart, a string based identifier is used.
