[TRACKING] Linux battery life tuning

I found adding rcu_nocbs=all rcutree.enable_rcu_lazy=1 to my kernel cmdline to be pretty helpful in terms of power savings, although upgraded screen kind if wiped out those power savings…

See https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/fine-tuning-the-ubuntu-24-04-kernel-for-low-latency-throughput-and-power-efficiency/44834

I also have psi=0 because I have more memory than sense (you probably shouldn’t do this, but PSI accounting was showing up in powertop and I didn’t really need it).
