The use of the 'ignore_nice' sysfs file is confusing to anyone using it.
This removes the sysfs file 'ignore_nice' and in its place creates a
'ignore_nice_load' entry that defaults to '0'; meaning nice'd processes
_are_ counted towards the 'business' calculation.

WARNING: this obvious breaks any userland tools that expected ignore_nice'
to exist, to draw attention to this fact it was concluded on the mailing
list that the entry should be removed altogether so the userland app breaks
and so the author can build simple to detect workaround.  Having said that
it seems currently very few tools even make use of this functionality; all
I could find was a Gentoo Wiki entry.

Don't try to access not-present CPUs.  Conservative governor will always
oops on SMP without this fix.

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.

Trivial ondemand governor clean-ups:
- change from sampling_rate_in_HZ() to the official function
usecs_to_jiffies().
- use for_each_online_cpu() to instead of using "if (cpu_online(i))"

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!
