Linus Torvalds 1fe0135b9e ACPI and power management fixes for 3.11-rc4
- Revert two cpuidle commits added during the 3.8 development cycle that
   turn out to have introduced a significant performance regression as
   requested by Jeremy Eder.
 
 - The recent patches that made the freezer less heavy-weight introduced
   a regression causing user-space-driven hibernation using the ioctl()
   interface to block indefinitely when the hibernate process executes
   try_to_freeze().  Fix from Colin Cross addresses this by adding a
   process flag to mark the hibernate/suspend process to inform the
   freezer that that process should be ignored.
 
 - One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core
   causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after
   a system suspend-resume cycle.  Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.
 
 - The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked
   correctly, because the commit that added support for it forgot to
   take the "Revision" field in the return package into account.  As
   a result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some
   systems, which is addressed by a fix from Lan Tianyu.
