For very light workloads that frequently park, acquiring the display
power well (required to prevent the dmc from trashing the system) takes
longer than the execution. A good example is the igt_coherency selftest,
which is slowed down by an order of magnitude in the worst case with
powerwell cycling. To prevent frequent cycling, while keeping our fast
soft-rc6, use a timer to delay release of the display powerwell.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
