  enumeration, the CPPC library, the APEI support and more, update the
  documentation, consolidate the printing of messages in several places
  and make assorted janitorial changes.

+Description:	This file contains a space-separated list of profiles supported for this device.
+
+		Drivers must use the following standard profile-names:
+
+		============	============================================
+		low-power	Low power consumption
+		cool		Cooler operation
+		quiet		Quieter operation
+		balanced	Balance between low power consumption and performance
+		performance	High performance operation
+		============	============================================
+
+		Userspace may expect drivers to offer more than one of these
+		standard profile names.

+Description:	Reading this file gives the current selected profile for this
+		device. Writing this file with one of the strings from
