Changes to the cpufreq stats driver:
* Changes the way P-state transition table looks in /sysfs providing more
clear output
* Changes the time unit in the output from HZ to clock_t

[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.

With the release of the dual-core AMD Opterons last week,
it's high time that cpufreq supported them. The attached
patch applies cleanly to 2.6.12-rc3 and updates powernow-k8
to support the latest Athlon 64 and Opteron processors.
Update the driver to version 1.40.0 and provide support
for dual-core processors.

We have to recalibrate cpu_khz in order to use the current FID instead the max
FID since some BIOS do not put the processor at maximum frequency at POST.
Also, some BIOS will change the processor frequency at our back after cpu_khz
was calibrate. Finally, this will fix a long standing bug when we do
something like this:
# rmmod powernow-k7
# modprobe powernow-k7

flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c &
co for user space mappings and module.c for kernel modules. On m68k
flush_icache_range() doesn't know which data to flush, as it has separate
address spaces and the pointer argument can be valid in either address
space.
First I considered splitting flush_icache_range(), but this patch is
simpler. Setting the correct context gives flush_icache_range() enough
information to flush the correct data.
