Ashok Raj c32b6b8e52 [PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state.
 When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing
to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when
CPU_DEAD is notified.  Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs.

We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State
transitions can still work on the other threads to save power.

Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically.

There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but
probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give
this code right treatment if this is not acceptable.  I guess its probably
good for the first cut.

- Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt.
  The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the
  hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this
  so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution
  was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration
  until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me.

(akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now
does lock_cpu_hotplug())

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
