The policy->transition_latency field is used for multiple purposes
today and its not straight forward at all. This is how it is used:
A. Set the correct transition_latency value.
B. Set it to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL because:
1. We don't want automatic dynamic switching (with
ondemand/conservative) to happen at all.
2. We don't know the transition latency.
This patch handles the B.1. case in a more readable way. A new flag for
the cpufreq drivers is added to disallow use of cpufreq governors which
have dynamic_switching flag set.
All the current cpufreq drivers which are setting transition_latency
unconditionally to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL are updated to use it. They don't
need to set transition_latency anymore.
There shouldn't be any functional change after this patch.

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.

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
->init().

__init belongs after the return type on functions, not before it.

We don't need to set .owner = THIS_MODULE any more in cpufreq drivers
as this field isn't used any more by the cpufreq core.
This patch removes it and updates all dependent drivers accordingly.

Chapter 14 of Documentation/CodingStyle says:
The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:
p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts
readability and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer
variable type is changed but the corresponding sizeof that is passed
to a memory allocator is not.
This wasn't followed consistently in drivers/cpufreq, let's make it
more consistent by always following this rule.

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 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
