How different is the above "standby" state compare to the standard "idle"
(a.k.a suspend-to-idle which is different from system-to-ram/S3) ?
Suspend to idle takes all the CPUs to lowest possible power state instead
of cpu-hotplug in S2R. Also I assume some userspace has to identify when
to enter "standby" vs "mem" right ? I am trying to see how addition of
"idle" changes that(if it does). Sorry for too many questions.
