*cyclictest* sets this value to *0* by default, use **--dma-latency** *0* to have
similar results.
**--deepest-idle-state** *n*
Disable idle states higher than *n* for cpus that are running timerlat threads to
reduce exit from idle latencies. If *n* is -1, all idle states are disabled.
On exit from timerlat, the idle state setting is restored to its original state
before running timerlat.
Requires rtla to be built with libcpupower.
**-k**, **--kernel-threads**
Use timerlat kernel-space threads, in contrast of **-u**.
