From: Shaibal Dutta <shaibal.du...@broadcom.com>
This patch moves the following work to the power efficient workqueue:
- Transmit work of netpoll
- Destination cache garbage collector work
- Link watch event handler work
In general, assignment of CPUs to pending work could be deferred to
the scheduler in order to extend idle residency time and improve
power efficiency. I would value community's opinion on the migration
of this work to the power efficient workqueue, with an emphasis on
migration of netpoll's transmit work.
This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected.
