i7300_idle driver v1.55
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.
