 			Format: [<profiletype>,]<number>
-			Param: <profiletype>: "schedule", "sleep", or "kvm"
+			Param: <profiletype>: "schedule" or "kvm"
 				[defaults to kernel profiling]
 			Param: "schedule" - profile schedule points.
-			Param: "sleep" - profile D-state sleeping (millisecs).
-				Requires CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS
 			Param: "kvm" - profile VM exits.
 			Param: <number> - step/bucket size as a power of 2 for
 				statistical time based profiling.
