701 Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly improves the performance
702 of waking up a idle CPU, but will use a lot of power and make the system
703 run hot. Not recommended.
704 idle=mwait. On systems which support MONITOR/MWAIT but the kernel chose
705 to not use it because it doesn't save as much power as a normal idle
706 loop use the MONITOR/MWAIT idle loop anyways. Performance should be the same
