Right now the module capability is cauing more trouble
than it is worth. At least one distro built intel_idle as a module
where it lost the init race with ACPI, making it useless.
Make intel_idle bool so that if you select it, you will use it.
We can restore module capability after cpuidle is enhanced
to handle run-time changing of idle drivers.

The idea behind power policy was that it would start off as a modparam,
and then hook into the new "global" in-kernel power vs energy tunable.
But that tunable isn't happening, so delete the hook here.
With the policy hook gone, the sub-state choice functions
do not do anything useful, so delete them from the critical path.
To handle sub-states in the future, we will advertise them
with dedicated cpuidle_state entries. That is necessary
because some of the sub-states will have substantially different
properties than their peer sub-states.

This EXPERIMENTAL driver supersedes acpi_idle on
Intel Atom Processors, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
and associated Intel Xeon processors.
It does not support the Intel Core2 processor or earlier.
For kernels configured with ACPI, CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
allows intel_idle to probe before the ACPI processor driver.
Booting with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" disables intel_idle
and the system will fall back on ACPI's "acpi_idle".
Typical Linux distributions load ACPI processor module early,
making CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=m not easily useful on ACPI platforms.
intel_idle probes all processors at module_init time.
Processors that are hot-added later will be limited
to using C1 in idle.

commit d306ebc286
(ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entry)
fixed an important power & performance issue where ACPI c2 and c3 C-states
were clearing TS_POLLING even when using MWAIT (ACPI_STATE_FFH).
That bug had been causing us to receive redundant scheduling interrups
when we had already been woken up by MONITOR/MWAIT.
Following up on that...
In the MWAIT case, we don't have to subsequently
check need_resched(), as that c heck was there
for the TS_POLLING-clearing case.
Note that not only does the cpuidle calling function
already check need_resched() before calling us, the
low-level entry into monitor/mwait calls it twice --
guaranteeing that a write to the trigger address
can not go un-noticed.
Also, in this case, we don't have to set TS_POLLING
when we wake, because we never cleared it.

TS_POLLING set tells the scheduler an idle_task will poll
need_resched() to look for work.
TS_POLLING clear tells resched_task() and wake_up_idle_cpu()
that the remote CPU's idle_task is now sleeping in idle,
and thus requires a reschedule interrupt notice work.
Update the description of TS_POLLING to reflect how it works.

The ACPI driver would fail probe when it found that
another driver had previously registered with cpuidle.
But this is a natural situation, as a native hardware
cpuidle driver should be able to bind instead of ACPI,
and the ACPI processor driver should be able to handle
yielding control of C-states while still handling
P-states and T-states.
Add a KERN_DEBUG line showing when acpi_idle
does successfully register.

In the FPU emulator code of the MIPS, the Cause bits of the FCSR register
are not currently writeable by the ctc1 instruction. In odd corner cases,
this can cause problems. For example, a case existed where a divide-by-zero
exception was generated by the FPU, and the signal handler attempted to
restore the FPU registers to their state before the exception occurred. In
this particular setup, writing the old value to the FCSR register would
cause another divide-by-zero exception to occur immediately. The solution
is to change the ctc1 instruction emulator code to allow the Cause bits of
the FCSR register to be writeable. This is the behaviour of the hardware
that the code is emulating.
This problem was found by Shane McDonald, but the credit for the fix goes
to Kevin Kissell. In Kevin's words:
I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op: case of the emulator. The
Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the
CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction. I think that
actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388 [...] things would
work a good deal better. At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of
the architecturally defined FPU. If I wanted to be really, really pedantic
(which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't
necessarily writable.

1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention;
we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously
shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on. To fix it
right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting
upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and
i_mutex on the inode in question. Set it (with dont_mount(dentry))
in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places
in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD. Setting S_DEAD
is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories
getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race
prevention.
2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash
the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint. Fixed.
3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the
right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong)
one. Noticed and fixed.

There is a race in the inotify add/rm watch code. A task can find and

inotify_new_watch()
allocate a mark (refcnt == 1)
add it to the idr
inotify_rm_watch()
inotify_remove_from_idr()
fsnotify_put_mark()
refcnt hits 0, free
take reference because we are on idr
[at this point it is a use after free]
[time goes on]
refcnt may hit 0 again, double free
