hi.
i guess i don;t object, but i'm not convinced this page needs such a
large block of text on power management. there is a "Daemons" section
which could just provide a nod to the relevant pages.

we tend to avoid 2nd person text like this. so it could be written like:
If the BIOS supports it, the daemon can be configured to act on
different events and adjust device performance.
