acpi-cpufreq needs the same patch as the previous speedstep-centrino change.
Additionally, the centrino driver can have its ifdef moved out a little
further to eliminate some more code/variables.

Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR
to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will
make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of
frequency is going on.
Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due
to underlying hardware coordination or TM2.
Example:
* CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated.
* CPU 1 running at highest frequency.
* CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to
some intermediate frequency based on utilization.
* Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to
run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest).
* When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency
feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change
was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it
thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at
intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

Add in the support for Intel Enhanced Speedstep - MSR based transitions.
With this change, the ACPI based support in speedstep-centrino can be
deprecated and duplicate code in that driver can be marked for removal.
Much easier to maintain and support this way. This also reduces the
user misconfigurations and questions on which driver is to be used
under which CPUs to support Enhanced Speedstep.

Some clean up and redsign of the driver. Mainly making it easier to add
support for multiple sub-mechanisms of changing frequency. Currently this
driver supports only ACPI SYSTEM_IO address space. With the changes
below it is easier to add support for other address spaces like Intel
Enhanced Speedstep which uses MSR (ACPI FIXED_FEATURE_HARDWARE) to do the
transitions.

This patchset has refresh/rebase of a bunch of patches/bugfixes related to
acpi-cpufreq that were sent earlier on this list.
patch 1/8
Patch that fixes a bug in swcoordination code in acpi-cpufreq
patch 2/8 through patch 7/8
Grand unification of ACPI based speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq drivers.
ACPI allows P-state transitions in multiple ways. Like using IO ports or using
processor native method (MSR). Without this patch, IO port based P-state
transitions are handled in acpi-cpufreq driver and MSR based transitions on
Intel CPUs are handled in speedstep-centrino driver. Even though most of the
code in these two drivers should be similar, except for final changing/checking
of frequency (one driver does it using IO port and other does it through
MSR), we have duplicated code in these two drivers. There are also issues
around BIOSes supporting both MSR and IO port and which driver should be
loaded first in standard installations.
The patchset combines functionality of these two driver into acpi-cpufreq
driver. ACPI based functionality in speedstep-centrino is marked deprecated
and will be removed in future. speedstep-centrino will continue to work
on systems that depend on older non-ACPI table based P-state chanes.
* 2/8 - Patch that reorganizes the code in acpi-cpufreq, cleaning it up
a little and making it easier to add MSR support later.
* 3/8 - Pull in the MSR based transition support into acpi-cpufreq.
* 4/8 - Mark speedstep-centrino deprecated. Change the order in Makefile to
load acpi-cpufreq first and speedstep-centrino later, in cases where both
are configured in.
* 5/8 - lindent acpi-cpufreq.c
* 6/8 - Minor change to eliminate the check of current frequency on
notifications. We can use last set frequency instead.
* 7/8 - Make cpufreq->get of acpi_cpufreq work correctly again.
There will be a patch in future that removes ACPI based support in
speedstep-centrino in coming months.
patch 8/8
Add support for IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR and get the actual frequency
from these MSRs and use it to determine the next frequency target in ondemand
governor
This patch:
There is a bug in software coordination patch in acpi-cpufreq, due to which
frequency will only be set on first CPU of any coordinated group.
Bug identified by Denis, was not recognised earlier as there are no platforms
yet that use software coordination with acpi-cpufreq driver.

Some buggy BIOSes do a "software any" kind of coordination without telling
about it to OS. So, when OS sets frequency on one CPU on these platforms,
it will also impact all the other logical CPUs that are in the same power
domain. Attached patch is a workaround for those buggy BIOSes.
Patch should be a noop on the normal non-buggy platforms.

Ignore the return value of early_init_acpi(), as it can give false error
messages. If there is something really wrong, then register_driver will
fail cleanly with EINVAL later.
[ background: modprobe acpi-cpufreq on systems not capable of speed-scaling
started failing with 'invalid argument', where previously it would only
ever -ENODEV
I'm not 100% happy with the solution. It'd be better to handle
failure properly, but this is a low-impact change for 2.6.18
We can always revisit doing this better in .19 --davej.]

Linux invokes the AML _PDC method (Processor Driver Capabilities)
to tell the BIOS what features it can handle. While the ACPI
spec says nothing about the OS invoking _PDC multiple times,
doing so with changing bits seems to hopelessly confuse the BIOS
on multiple platforms up to and including crashing the system.
Factor out the _PDC invocation so Linux invokes it only once.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

The acpi-cpufreq driver does a P-state get after a P-state set
to verify whether set went through successfully. This test
is kind of redundant as set goes throught most of the times,
and the test is also expensive as a get of P-states can
take a lot of time (same as a set operation) as it goes
through SMM mode. Effectively, we are doubling the P-state
latency due to this get opertion.
momdule parameter "acpi_pstate_strict" restores orginal paranoia.

Otherwise a platform that supports ACPI based cpufreq
and boots up at lowest possible speed could stay there
forever. This because the governor may request max speed,
but the code doesn't update if there is no change in
speed, and it assumed the initial state of max speed.

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!
