Add a new cpufreq_update_policy call:

Certain cpufreq policy notifers have different needs at different times.
Thus it needs to be possible to re-evaluate an already set cpufreq policy.
Note that the cpufreq policy should only be set by one person: the user.
Not any other in-kernel code [with one exception, of course: during
booting].

Intel SpeedStep driver using a BIOS SMI call.

Quoting his original announcement:

"This driver is based on the information from

1. Microsoft Windows XP Document.
we can get the SMI interface values from ax=E980/int15 BIOS call.

2. Intel SpeedStep Applet Document.(from HP.com)
http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/evonotebook/us/download/10631.html
" Adds code to request transition ownership when processing
the system critical resume message. When a critical hibernate occurs,
the Applet does not receive any system level notification. The change forces
the Applet to re-acquire transition ownership upon resume from a critical hibernate. "

This is informative. This saied that  something 'ownership' call is needed on SMI
interface first.

3. Grover, Andrew's int 15h patch posted to cpufreq ml
Message-ID: <F760B14C9561B941B89469F59BA3A847E96E28@orsmsx401.jf.intel.com>
code which call BIOS to get SMI values. I included it.

4. Malik Martin's rev engineering results.
call is made with BX, CX, EDI register values.
and need signature 'ISG' when call.
find function values. bx=1(get) and bx=2(set)

5. Marc Lehmann's 'speedstep' utility,
sample of assembler code to call SMI.

6. My work.
find function to return max/min freq which system supportd. (bx=4)
more values are gotten, but I cannot understand...
find 'ownership' function value(bx=0, which is other than 1 2 4..).

ToDo(in pregress)
support governor "auto" and using smi_event call, imprement auto freqchange
feature.
test on 440BX/ZX platform.

Memo
 module parameters are override result of an int 15h/eax=E890h call.
 these parameter value are gotten from Windows XP registory."

Also includes some bugfixes, updates and workarounds from me.

NB: A lot of BIOS out there are buggy. You might want to try this driver
also with Intel's default values -- smi_cmd = 0x82 and smi_port = 0xb2

cpumask_up.h is broken. It tries to access the "mask" member although
that cpumask_t is an ulong on UP. This breaks archs which uses cpumask
functions even on UP such as s390.

We only support named initializers with one leval of naming, ie that

	.foo.bar = baz,

thing should go.  gcc-2.95 doesn't handle it (neither does sparse, I
think).

Replace such initializers with

	.foo = {
		.bar = baz,
	},

instead.

PA-RISC updates for 2.6.0-test5.

Chas Williams fixed the compilation on SMP, so we can remove the Kconfig
annotation now and let people select it in the build again.

This should fix all the remaining pci drivers which mark the pci device
ID tables as being discardable at run time.

This should fix all the AGP drivers.

pci_device_id tables can not and must not be marked discardable.  They
are used for as long as the driver is registered.

Use different var-names if they are non-static,
configure 4BRI like BRI cards, fixed new /proc entries,
inline declarations for common helper functions.

changed // comments to /* */

Main divas modules now may be build in-kernel.
4BRI cards are configured together with BRI cards.

fixed endianess errors in common code part.

Fixed internel list handling for modules built-in kernel.

Module now can be build without debug code, necessary
if the module is built-in the kernel.

Fixed spelling typos.

Fix application memory allocation, module locking,
building in-kernel, use new internal debug api.

Access to cards memory now uses macros to attach
to the correct memory area of the card.

The current IDE Power Management code I wrote has a race on wakeup when
the master device got resumed, it may take a request.  At this point, a
PM resume request to a slave device of the same hwgroup would clear
hwgroup->rq and cause an Oops when the master device request completes. 

This patch fixes it.  Due to the context in which PM resume requests are
sent, just not clearing hwgroup->rq for these is enough. 

I also removed a useless debug message in the PM code that was
actually misleading (people though it indicated a problem while it
didn't, it's really useless) and fix a typo in a comment.

This fixes a bug that happens when a request gets to the IDE layer for a
drive using ide-default (that is with no subdriver attached), like a
Power Management request.  In this case, the core will wait for the
device status to match drive->read_stat, but that field contains by
default a value that is not suitable for ATAPI devices.  This patch
fixes it.

This allows us to maintain quirks or capabilities on a per-port basis,
so we can handle buggy clones more effectively.

The dependencies for CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE / CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE
were becoming very messy.  This cset converts the dependencies to
use "select" statements instead.

Since the driver model has transitioned away from using multi-level
device suspend/resume, we also drop the multi-level support from
the serial layer.

Update the 8250 and sa1100 drivers for this change.

Here's a patch to update the RxRPC driver. Most of it is CodingStyle fixes,
but it also includes a few miscellaneous bug fixes. stdint types are also
turned into C99 forms (eg: u32 -> uint32_t).
