patch for powernow-k8 problem (Mobile Sempron 2800+, Acer Aspire 1362 )

If the initial frequency/voltage pair are not valid in the frequency table,
the first requested transition is to make them valid. Fix the code doing so.

Assert that the call to the cpufreq governor with CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP is really
the last. Without this patch, some strange in-kernel preemption combined with
the scheduler disliking the "removing" task may cause the opposite.

These are very small cleanups / documentation additions. It avoids
using different names for same fields in different structures.

Upon resuming from sleep or swsusp, the ACPI P-States driver can't determine
the current CPU frequency, as the ACPI specification doesn't contain a method
to determine the current P-State.

Therefore, _always_ re-set the CPU to the P-State it was before suspending,
and don't abort early if this is the same state as the CPU was put to
before (like it does make sense when using the ondemand governor, for example).

The following patch makes ondemand governor aware of policy->cpus.

policy->cpus mask lets multiple cpu use the same policy (useful where cpus
share the frequency state), a recent change in cpufreq core.

Now ondemand governor looks at all cpus in policy->cpus and takes its
frequency increase/decrease decisions based on most lightly loaded cpu in
the group. This patch will not affect systems where policy->cpus contain
only one cpu.

Red Hat got some confused customers due to this message. The confused

Merry Christmas everyone. Ho ho ho!

rth tells me that some versions of gcc may end up using the
SSE registers for data movement when you do that.

Use "-march=i686 -mtune=xxxx" instead.

(We do the same thing for march=pentium2/4 too, just for
consistency).

hardware driver disconnects instead of waiting for the last user to drop off. 
This way hardware drivers can be unloaded at any time.

This fixes a build failure with gcc-3.4.1, where we use some functions
before we define them inline. 

The simple way to fix those is to simply un-inline the functions in
question. Since they are somewhat large that's what I did.

An alternative would be to rework the ordering of the file so the
functions are defined before their first use.

Moxa have released several driver updates now including support up to
2.6.8 but don't themselves feel its worth the effort of doing a cleaned
up merge for the base kernel.  So I pulled their latest driver release
(1.8) and removed all the macro gunge that makes it build on
2.2.0->2.6.8.  I then fixed it to run on 2.6.9/10 and fixed a bug in the
break handling.

It still doesn't do PCI hotplug but I don't have any PCI moxa cards to
really tackle that particular case. 

I've also merged Adriank Bunk's two 'could be static' changes into this

Fix suggested by Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

On architectures like PPC, char is handled as "unsigned char", thus the
pcm_format_data table entries with -1 give a positive 255.  This results
in Oops with OSS-emulation on such architectures.

The patch simply adds the right signed/unsigned prefix to fix this problem.
