Starting with model 10 of Family 0x10, AMD processors may have
support for APERF/MPERF.  Add support for identifying it and using
it within cpufreq.  Move the APERF/MPERF functions out of the
acpi-cpufreq code and into their own file so they can easily be
shared.

Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the BIOS and OSPM.
Based on the server workload, OSPM can request what frequency it expects
from a logical CPU, and the BIOS will achieve that frequency transparently.

This patch introduces driver support for PCC. OSPM uses the PCC driver to
communicate with the BIOS via the PCC interface.

There is a Documentation file that provides a link to the PCC
Specification, and also provides a summary of the PCC interface.

Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. However,
any platform whose BIOS implements the PCC Specification, can utilize this
driver.

V2 --> V1 changes (based on Dominik's suggestions):
- Removed the dependency on CPU_FREQ_TABLE
- "cpufreq_stats" will no longer PANIC. Actually, it will not load anymore
because it is not applicable.
- Removed the sanity check for target frequency in the ->target routine.

NOTE: A patch to sanitize the target frequency requested by "ondemand" is
needed to ensure that the target freq < policy->min.

Can this driver be queued up for the 2.6.33 tree?

Change the link order of the cpufreq modules to ensure that they're
probed in the preferred order when statically linked in.

This is driver for Enhanced Powersaver which is present in VIA C7
processors. Beta tested by Jorgen (jorgen (at) greven dot dk).
Thanks! Based on documentation provided by Dave Jones (Thanks!)
and C7 Eden datasheet available from www.via.com.tw. Looks like all
these C7 Eden CPU's don't have P-states in BIOS. I know that 2
p-states is low, but Jorgen finds it usefull anyway because board
is passive cooled.
There are 3 different types of C7 processors (called brands):
0. C7-M - these processors can set any maultiplier between min and
max, any voltage between min and max.
1. C7 - only min and max states are supported. Voltage is different
for min and max states.
2. Eden - only min and max states are supported. Looks like this
brand can only change multiplier. Voltage seems to be the same for
min and max frequency.

Mark ACPI hooks in speedstep-centrino as deprecated. Change the order in which
speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq (when both are in kernel) will be
added. First driver to be tried is now acpi-cpufreq, followed by
speedstep-centrino.

Add a note in feature-removal-schedule to mark this deprecation.

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!
