[Tinyos-host-mote-wg] [Tinyos-2.0wg] Resource interface / idle event and power management

[David Gay]

Any objections to me putting a trial version of an ResourceIdle
interface into the current arbiters, to experiment with the proposed
auto-on/off on idle proposal for power management?

Motivation: the CC1000 radio stack currently tries to start/stop the
Adc because of it's use of RSSI measurements. This is clearly broken,
and the atmega128 adc (and probably adc's in general) look like a nice
place to rely on the Resource interface for on/off (the atmel adc has
twice the latency on the first sample on the first sample after
switching it off/on, so repeated sampling clearly doesn't want that to
happen, but conversely, occasional uses are unlikely to mind this
latency).
