prom_init(), the trampoline code that "talks" to Open Firmware during
early boot, has various issues with managing OF result codes. Some of my
recent fixups in fact made the problem worse on some platforms.

This patch reworks it all. Tested on g5, Maple, POWER3 and POWER5.

This gets rid of an unused variable `error' in sys_ia32.c:sys32_epoll_wait()

Getting rid of this one makes parsing the output of the kernecomp
autobuild easier --- searching for `Error' to find a problem kept
hitting this one, even though it's only a warning.

This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64.  It does the following things:

 - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
   exist with the same name as a child node of the parent.  We now
   simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
   /proc with random result...

 - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
   address is 0.  This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
   buggy and didn't always work anyway.

 - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
   node.  These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
   the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
   dentry and inode cache bloat.

This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

This is the ppc32 patch equivalent to the just posted ppc64 one working
around a bug in Apple device-trees regarding the "cpus" nodes.

Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes
where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up
appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and
confuses /proc/device-tree badly.

This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when
reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not
modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0
tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem.

An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly

[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.

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:
