68 If a CPU is idle, there is little point in sending it a scheduling-clock
71 and an idle CPU has no duties to shift its attention among.
73 An idle CPU that is not receiving scheduling-clock interrupts is said to
74 be "dyntick-idle", "in dyntick-idle mode", "in nohz mode", or "running
75 tickless".  The remainder of this document will use "dyntick-idle mode".
