[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 2/4] x86: Allow limiting the max C-state sub-state

[Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Allow limiting the max C-state sub-state by appending to the max_cstate
command-line parameter. E.g. max_cstate=1,0
The limit only applies to the highest legal C-state. For example:
 max_cstate = 1, max_csubstate = 0 ==> C0, C1 okay, but not C1E
 max_cstate = 1, max_csubstate = 1 ==> C0, C1 and C1E okay, but not C2
 max_cstate = 2, max_csubstate = 0 ==> C0, C1, C1E, C2 okay, but not C3
 max_cstate = 2, max_csubstate = 1 ==> C0, C1, C1E, C2 okay, but not C3

 ### max\_cstate
-> `= <integer>`
+> `= <cstate>[,<substate>]`
+
+`cstate` is an integer which limits the maximum C-state that Xen uses.
+
+`substate` is an integer which limits the maximum sub C-state that Xen
+uses.  The limit only applies to the highest legal C-state.
