-         This driver installs ACPI as the idle handler for Linux and uses
-         ACPI C2 and C3 processor states to save power on systems that
-         support it.  It is required by several flavors of cpufreq
-         performance-state drivers.
+         This driver adds support for the ACPI Processor package. It is required
+         by several flavors of cpufreq performance-state, thermal, throttling and
+         idle drivers.
 
          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
          the module will be called processor.
