Re: Scheduler mod: dropping to low power...

> See the default_idle() function on i386 for how it's done there...

	Thanks a lot for the direction here.  I looked at what default_idle()
is doing in i386, then looked to see if there was a comparable function
in arm --- which there was.  It seems there is already a simple
low-power mode activated during the (arm) idle process, so all I would
need to do is add a couple more lines of asm to this to get what I need.
That is a heck of a lot simpler than what I had been looking at doing!

	I am glad I asked here first: I think I have saved myself a couple of
day's work and a lot of headaches in doing so!  Thanks again for the
assistance: it was exactly what I needed.
