    parisc: led: Reduce CPU overhead for disk & lan LED computation · 358ad816
    Helge Deller authored
    Older PA-RISC machines have LEDs which show the disk- and LAN-activity.
    The computation is done in software and takes quite some time, e.g. on a
    J6500 this may take up to 60% time of one CPU if the machine is loaded
    via network traffic.
    
    Since most people don't care about the LEDs, start with LEDs disabled and
    just show a CPU heartbeat LED. The disk and LAN LEDs can be turned on
    manually via /proc/pdc/led.
