In terms of features:

* PowerTOP now supports Runtime Device Power Management, both in terms 
of enabling it via a suggestion as well as collecting statistics for it
* PowerTOP now has support for reporting which application keeps the 
disk from powersaving mode (worth +/- 0.5W)
* PowerTOP now has support for reporting AHCI Link power management 
statistics (worth 0.5W - 1W)
* PowerTOP now supports the Audio power saving statistics so you can see 
if some app keeps your audio out of powersave (0.5W - 1W)
* PowerTOP reports the use of "Turbo Mode" on Intel processors that 
support this (Core i7 and such)



And fixes
* We should have fixed all suggestions that previously didn't go away 
even though you hit the key to apply them
* We don't turn on USB power management for USB input devices, they tend 
to break if you do
* Be smarter about we report ethernet activity in the light of 
multiqueue networking
* many translation updates
* Recognize per cpu hpet in timer reporting
* Various wifi power saving api changes/tweaks taken care of




Removed
* the "laptop mode" suggestion has been removed
