+	---help---
+	  Intel Smart Connect is a technology intended to permit devices to
+	  update state by resuming for a short period of time at regular
+	  intervals. If a user enables this functionality under Windows and
+	  then reboots into Linux, the system may remain configured to resume
+	  on suspend. In the absence of any userspace to support it, the system
+	  will then remain awake until something triggers another suspend.
+
+	  This driver checks to determine whether the device has Intel Smart
+	  Connect enabled, and if so disables it.
