1. Architectures

1.1. x86

• Intel Rapid Start Technology support, which is a firmware-based suspend-to-disk implementation. Once placed in S3, the device will wake once either a timeout elapses or the battery reaches a critical level. It will then resume to the firmware and copy the contents of RAM to a specialised partition, and then power off the machine. If the user turns the machine back on the firmware will copy the contents of the partition back to RAM and then resume from S3 as normal (commit)

• A driver that registers CPU digital temperature sensor as a thermal zones at package level. Each package will show up as one zone with at max two trip points. These trip points can be both read and updated. Once a non-zero value is set in the trip point, if the package package temperature goes above or below this setting, a thermal notification is generated (commit)
