Change to using max P-state instead of max turbo P-state. This
change resolves two issues.
On a quiet system intel_pstate can fail to respond to a load change.
On CPU SKUs that have a limited number of P-states and no turbo range
intel_pstate fails to select the highest available P-state.
This change is suitable for stable v3.9+

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the drivers/cpufreq uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

The ffmpeg benchmark in the phoronix test suite has threads on
multiple cores that rely on the progress on of threads on other cores
and ping pong back and forth fast enough to make the core appear less
busy than it "should" be. If the core has been at minimum p-state for
a while bump the pstate up to kick the core to see if it is in this
ping pong state. If the core is truly idle the p-state will be
reduced at the next sample time. If the core makes more progress it
will send more work to the thread bringing both threads out of the
ping pong scenario and the p-state will be selected normally.
This fixes a performance regression of approximately 30%

There are two ways that the maximum p-state can be clamped, via a
policy change and via the sysfs file.
The acpi-thermal driver adjusts the p-state policy in response to
thermal events. These changes override the users settings at the
moment.
Use the lowest of the two requested values this ensures that we will
not exceed the requested pstate from either mechanism.

Idle time is taken into account in the APERF/MPERF ratio calculation
there is no reason for the driver to track it seperately. This
reduces the work in the driver and makes the code more readable.
Removal of the tracking of sample duration removes the possibility of
the divide by zero exception when the duration is sub 1us

This function is called quite often from other subsystems.
Removed unused call to intel_pstate_get_min_max().
Also when "policy->policy == CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE", then
no need to do calculations as the limits will be forced anyway.

The current calculation of the delay time is wrong and a cut and
paste error from a previous experimental driver. This can result in
the timeout being set to jiffies + 1 which setup the driver to race
with itself if the APIC timer interrupt happens at just the right
time.

Add a P-state driver for the Intel Sandy bridge processor. In cpufreq
terminology this driver implements a scaling driver with an internal
governor.
When built into the the kernel this driver will be the preferred
scaling driver for Sandy bridge processors.
In addition to the interfaces provided by the cpufreq subsystem for
controlling scaling drivers. The user may control the behavior of the
driver via three sysfs files located in
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate".
max_perf_pct: limits the maximum P state that will be requested by
the driver stated as a percentage of the avail performance.
min_perf_pct: limits the minimum P state that will be requested by
the driver stated as a percentage of the avail performance.
no_turbo: limits the driver to selecting P states below the turbo
frequency range.
