This is a fully supported driver.

Right now the module capability is cauing more trouble
than it is worth. At least one distro built intel_idle as a module
where it lost the init race with ACPI, making it useless.
Make intel_idle bool so that if you select it, you will use it.
We can restore module capability after cpuidle is enhanced
to handle run-time changing of idle drivers.

This EXPERIMENTAL driver supersedes acpi_idle on
Intel Atom Processors, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
and associated Intel Xeon processors.
It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier.
For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver.
Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle
and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle".
Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early,
making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms.
intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time.
Processors that are hot-added later will be limited
to using C1 in idle.

...since today it contains only a single driver
which is visible to just x86_64

The Intel 7300 Memory Controller supports dynamic throttling of memory which can
be used to save power when system is idle. This driver does the memory
throttling when all CPUs are idle on such a system.
Refer to "Intel 7300 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)" datasheet
for the config space description.
