Title:
Use med_with_dipm SATA LPM to save more power for mobile platforms
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
In order to let CPU Package gets deeper C-state, we need to use power-
saving SATA LPM to achieve that.
This commit introduce a new config, SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY:

ahci: Allow setting a default LPM policy for mobile chipsets
On many laptops setting a different LPM policy then unknown /
max_performance can lead to power-savings of 1.0 - 1.5 Watts (when idle).
Modern ultrabooks idle around 6W (at 50% screen brightness), 1.0 - 1.5W
is a significant chunk of this.
There are some performance / latency costs to enabling LPM by default,
so it is desirable to make it possible to set a different LPM policy
for mobile / laptop variants of chipsets / "South Bridges" vs their
desktop / server counterparts. Also enabling LPM by default is not
entirely without risk of regressions. At least min_power is known to
cause issues with some disks, including some reports of data corruption.
This commits adds a new ahci.mobile_lpm_policy kernel cmdline option,
which defaults to a new SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY Kconfig option so that
Linux distributions can choose to set a LPM policy for mobile chipsets
by default.
The reason to have both a kernel cmdline option and a Kconfig default
value for it, is to allow easy overriding of the default to allow
trouble-shooting without needing to rebuild the kernel.

"3 => Medium power with Device Initiated PM enable" is a well-balanced
that can let Package enters deeper C-state.
Also, Fedora already set SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY=3 for their latest
kernel.
