Details
It would be nice if the CONFIG_TIMER_STATS option could be
enabled in the kernel config. This to use the new Intel
powertop utility with the stock arch kernel.
The program also suggests to enable the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND option, duno how this affect the stability of the usb drivers and if it has disadvantages for desktop users... It also suggest to disable the CONFIG_IRQBALANCE option. It says: "The in-kernel irq balancer is obsolete and wakes the CPU up far more than needed." I hope you consider these options and hopefully it will make the arch kernel more laptop friendly. You can find all the application suggestions here: http://powertop.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/powertop.c scroll to the bottom of the document, but it seems the other suggestions are all available by loading modules or already enabled. |

It is better to create custom kernel package or join forces in creating specific kernel package for laptops
