Kristen Carlson Accardi 0522424ecb intel_pstate: Add num_pstates to sysfs
Add a sysfs interface to display the total number of supported
pstates.  This value is independent of whether turbo has been
enabled or disabled.

Kristen Carlson Accardi d01b1f48c5 intel_pstate: expose turbo range to sysfs
This patch adds "turbo_pct" to the intel_pstate sysfs interface.
turbo_pct will display the percentage of the total supported
pstates that are in the turbo range.  This value is independent
of whether turbo has been disabled or not.

Dirk Brandewie 2f86dc4cdd intel_pstate: Add support for HWP
Add support of Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) described in Volume 3
section 14.4 of the SDM.

With HWP enbaled intel_pstate will no longer be responsible for selecting P
states for the processor. intel_pstate will continue to register to
the cpufreq core as the scaling driver for CPUs implementing
HWP. In HWP mode intel_pstate provides three functions reporting
frequency to the cpufreq core, support for the set_policy() interface
from the core and maintaining the intel_pstate sysfs interface in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate.  User preferences expressed via
the set_policy() interface or the sysfs interface are forwared to the
CPU via the HWP MSR interface.

Ramkumar Ramachandra a3ea0153ec Documentation / cpufreq: add intel-pstate.txt
The Intel P-state driver is currently undocumented. Add some
documentation based on the cover-letter sent with the original series.
