Can someone consider this patch for merge?
As we will have libpci available at most distros by default, isn't there a way of doing run-time detection instead of disabling it at build time?
This patch disables powertop PCI support only when libpci is not available on a system. Nothing specific to ARM platforms.
I don't think it can be done at run-time. Without this patch if libpci is not available, powertop compilation itself will fail.
This is just because we'll be getting more and more ARM boards which have PCI-e as well, so we'll need to handle systems with and without any PCI available.
