Usually for a use case like networking - should not be configured to reach c6, the maximum used is c1e – due to the added latency getting in & out of states (bad for networking).
Following a recommendation by Intel, networking system should avoid getting in & out of states which introduce latency. The recommended state is c1e and no state change enabling.
In addition, c-state sole purpose is to save power and when inside a networking switch its really negligent being such a tiny consumer vs. the whole cluster.

use fallocate instead of dd to speed up the disk allocation.
By default, mkfs.ext4 has -E discard option which discards the blocks
at the mkfs time, also speed up the initialization time.
1. "make target/sonic-broadcom.raw" will create the compressed dd'able image.
2. This will also update the grub config files (device/dell/*/nos_to_sonic_grub.cfg) with the image versions.
