Good catch. I thought it was documented already. Perhaps it got
lost. In any case, I think it would be good to mention why someone
might want to turn it on. Perhaps something along the lines of:
"This increases power-consumption. On the positive side, it
reduces interrupt wake-up latency, which may improve
performance in certain environments such as networked
servers."
