Description: Discover cpuidle policy and mechanism

Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are
differentiated by varying exit latencies and power
consumption during idle.

Idle policy (governor) is differentiated from idle mechanism
(driver)

current_driver: displays current idle mechanism

current_governor_ro: displays current idle policy

See files in Documentation/cpuidle/ for more information.
