It is a driver for handling memory power management for the Intel 5000/7300 chipsets using the CPU Idle Notification API's and requests a Patch/Micro binding. We believe that this qualifies for self-review, but will change it to a fasttrack should it be requested.

Project/Component Working Name: FBDIMM Idle Power Enhancement (FIPE) driver 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Gerry Liu 1.3 Date of This Document: 07 May, 2009 4. Technical Description This case is to integrate a driver for the Intel 5000/7300 chipset into ON. This driver is a memory power management driver which puts memory into power saving state when system is idle. This project is important because several products from Sun are based on Intel 5000/7300 chipset and it will reduce customer TCO by integrating this driver. This is an x86-only driver as it is specific to Intel chipsets, and will support both 32bits and 64bits. The driver also complies with all driver big rules. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NAME | STABILITY LEVEL | DESCRIPTION | +------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------+ | Interfaces Exported | |------------------------------------------------------------------| | fipe | Committed | Driver name | |------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------| | SUNWfipe | Committed | Package name | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Interfaces Imported | |------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------| | CPU Idle Notification | Consolidation Private | PSARC/2009/115 | |------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------| | dcopy/ioat | Consolidation Private | PSARC/2008/219 | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ 6.
