cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state.
When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing
to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when
CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs.
We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State
transitions can still work on the other threads to save power.
Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically.
There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but
probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give
this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably
good for the first cut.
- Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt.
The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the
hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this
so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution
was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration
until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.
(akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now
does lock_cpu_hotplug())

[PATCH] [4/5] ondemand governor automatic downscaling
Here is a change of policy for the ondemand governor. The modification
concerns the frequency downscaling. Instead of decreasing to a lower
frequency when the CPU usage is under 20%, this new policy automatically
scales to the optimal frequency. The optimal frequency being the lowest
frequency which provides enough power to not trigger the upscaling policy.

A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
just posted. This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
rather than flip between the min and max freq's.
N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
(200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

The cpufreq core patch I sent earlier got only half-applied. I added a
flag to let the low level driver disable an annoying warning on
suspend/resume that is normal on ppc, but the "resume" part of it wasn't
applied.
This just adds back that missing bit. The original patch also reworked
the resume() function to avoid nesting too many if () statements along
the way I did the suspend() one, but I didn't include that in the patch
below.

In order to properly fix some issues with cpufreq vs. sleep on
PowerBooks, I had to add a suspend callback to the pmac_cpufreq driver.
I must force a switch to full speed before sleep and I switch back to
previous speed on resume.
I also added a driver flag to disable the warnings in suspend/resume
since it is expected in this case to have different speed (and I want it
to fixup the jiffies properly).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
