Power Management Framework architectural design

["Juha Keski-Saari" <juha.keski-saari%teleca.com@localhost>]

Greetings to all concerned

We are investigating architectural possibilities for a power management
framework for NetBSD currently specifically for the ARM OMAP2 port, but
we feel that such a design could benefit more than the users of the ARM
port. As we're still in the phase of architectural design, it is a
great time to give input and propose features that would make the
outcome more useful to more interest groups within the NetBSD community.

You can find the original thread on the ports.arm list at #2156, or by
the following link

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.netbsd.ports.arm/2156

For us it will be better the more people find use in the power
management framework, more input can give us a more balanced result
instead of ending up with something that is useful only in the context
of a single hardware port.

If you feel an interest in the domain of power management, please take
a moment of your time and contribute your constructive view to the
pool, thank you.
