    PM / Runtime: Add runtime PM statistics (v3) · 8d4b9d1b

    In order for PowerTOP to be able to report how well the new runtime PM is
    working for the various drivers, the kernel needs to export some basic
    statistics in sysfs.
    
    This patch adds two sysfs files in the runtime PM domain that expose the
    total time a device has been active, and the time a device has been
    suspended.
    
    With this PowerTOP can compute the activity percentage
    
    Active %age = 100 * (delta active) / (delta active + delta suspended)
    
    and present the information to the user.
    
    I've written the PowerTOP code (slated for version 1.12) already, and the
    output looks like this:
    
    Runtime Device Power Management statistics
    Active  Device name
     10.0%	06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
    
    [version 2: fix stat update bugs noticed by Alan Stern]
    [version 3: rebase to -next and move the sysfs declaration]
