+	help
+	  Simple Ondemand Governor uses polling for reading buses counters.
+	  A default timer used is deferred, which saves power, but can
+	  miss increased demand for higher bus frequency if timer was
+	  assigned to idle cpu. If you want to change this to delayed
+	  timer at the cost of more power used, say Yes here.
