During frequency transitions, the cpufreq core takes the responsibility of
invoking cpufreq_freq_transition_begin() and cpufreq_freq_transition_end()
for those cpufreq drivers that define the ->target_index callback but don't
set the ASYNC_NOTIFICATION flag.
The longhaul cpufreq driver falls under this category, but this driver was
invoking the _begin() and _end() APIs itself around frequency transitions,
which led to double invocation of the _begin() API. The _begin API makes
contending callers wait until the previous invocation is complete. Hence,
the longhaul driver ended up waiting on itself, leading to system hangs
during boot.
Fix this by removing the calls to the _begin() and _end() APIs from the
longhaul driver, since they rightly belong to the cpufreq core.
(Note that during module_exit(), the longhaul driver sets the frequency
without any help from the cpufreq core. So add explicit calls to the
_begin() and _end() APIs around that frequency transition alone, to take
care of that special case.)

Few drivers are using kmalloc() to allocate memory for frequency
tables and since we will have an additional field '.flags' in
'struct cpufreq_frequency_table', these might become unstable.
Better get these fixed by replacing kmalloc() by kzalloc() instead.
Along with that we also remove use of .driver_data from SPEAr driver
as it doesn't use it at all. Also, writing zero to .driver_data is not
required for powernow-k8 as it is already zero.

CPUFreq core has new infrastructure that would guarantee serialized calls to
target() or target_index() callbacks. These are called
cpufreq_freq_transition_begin() and cpufreq_freq_transition_end().
This patch converts existing drivers to use these new set of routines.

Currently, the prototype of cpufreq_drivers target routines is:
int target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int target_freq,
unsigned int relation);
And most of the drivers call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() to get a valid
index of their frequency table which is closest to the target_freq. And they
don't use target_freq and relation after that.
So, it makes sense to just do this work in cpufreq core before calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_target() and simply pass index instead. But this can be
done only with drivers which expose their frequency table with cpufreq core. For
others we need to stick with the old prototype of target() until those drivers
are converted to expose frequency tables.
This patch implements the new light weight prototype for target_index() routine.
It looks like this:
int target_index(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int index);
CPUFreq core will call cpufreq_frequency_table_target() before calling this
routine and pass index to it. Because CPUFreq core now requires to call routines
present in freq_table.c CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE must be enabled all the time.
This also marks target() interface as deprecated. So, that new drivers avoid
using it. And Documentation is updated accordingly.
It also converts existing .target() to newly defined light weight
.target_index() routine for many driver.

Many common initializations of struct policy are moved to core now and hence
this driver doesn't need to do it. This patch removes such code.
Most recent of those changes is to call ->get() in the core after calling

Most of the CPUFreq drivers do similar things in .exit() and .verify() routines
and .attr. So its better if we have generic routines for them which can be used
by cpufreq drivers then.
This patch uses these generic routines in the longhaul driver.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the drivers/cpufreq uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an
index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core. It only is useful
for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes.
Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the
assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake.
Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is. All of its
users are updated accordingly.

policy->cpus contains all online cpus that have single shared clock line. And
their frequencies are always updated together.
Many SMP system's cpufreq drivers take care of this in individual drivers but
the best place for this code is in cpufreq core.
This patch modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to notify frequency change for
all cpus in policy->cpus and hence updates all users of this API.

This is only solution I can think of. User decides if he wants this

which use the same, or very similar, chipset and processor.

This marks all the x86 cpuinfo tables to the CPU specific device drivers,
to allow auto loading by udev. This should simplify the distribution
startup scripts for this greatly.
I didn't add MODULE_DEVICE_IDs to the centrino and p4-clockmod drivers,
because those probably shouldn't be auto loaded and the acpi driver
be used instead (not fully sure on that, would appreciate feedback)
The old nforce drivers autoload based on the PCI ID.
ACPI cpufreq is autoloaded in another patch.
v3: Autoload gx based on PCI IDs only. Remove cpu check (Dave Jones)
v4: Use newly introduce HW_PSTATE feature for powernow-k8 loading
