+ workqueue.power_efficient
+ Per-cpu workqueues are generally preferred because
+ they show better performance thanks to cache
+ locality; unfortunately, per-cpu workqueues tend to
+ be more power hungry than unbound workqueues.
+
+ Enabling this makes the per-cpu workqueues which
+ were observed to contribute significantly to power
+ consumption unbound, leading to measurably lower
+ power usage at the cost of small performance
+ overhead.
+
+ The default value of this parameter is determined by
+ the config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.
