Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "We have a few new features this time, including a new SFI-based
  cpufreq driver, a new devfreq driver for Tegra Activity Monitor, a new
  devfreq class for providing its governors with raw utilization data
  and a new ACPI driver for AMD SoCs.

  Still, the majority of changes here are reworks of existing code to
  make it more straightforward or to prepare it for implementing new
  features on top of it.  The primary example is the rework of ACPI
  resources handling from Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner and Lv Zheng with
  support for IOAPIC hotplug implemented on top of it, but there is
  quite a number of changes of this kind in the cpufreq core, ACPICA,
  ACPI EC driver, ACPI processor driver and the generic power domains
  core code too.

  The most active developer is Viresh Kumar with his cpufreq changes.

f262f28c14 PM / devfreq: event: Add devfreq_event class
This patch adds a new class in devfreq, devfreq_event, which provides
raw data (e.g., memory bus utilization, GPU utilization) for devfreq
governors.

- devfreq_event device : Provides raw data for a governor of a devfreq device
- devfreq device       : Monitors device state and changes frequency/voltage
			of the device using the raw data from its
			devfreq_event device.

A devfreq device dertermines performance states (normally the frequency
and the voltage vlues) based on the results its designtated devfreq governor:
e.g., ondemand, performance, powersave.

In order to give such results required by a devfreq device, the devfreq
governor requires data that indicates the performance requirement given
to the devfreq device. The conventional (previous) implementatino of
devfreq subsystem requires a devfreq device driver to implement its own
mechanism to acquire performance requirement for its governor. However,
there had been issues with such requirements:

1. Although performance requirement of such devices is usually acquired
 from common devices (PMU/PPMU), we do not have any abstract structure to
 represent them properly.
2. Such performance requirement devices (PMU/PPMU) are actual hardware
 pieces that may be represented by Device Tree directly while devfreq device
 itself is a virtual entity that are not considered to be represented by
 Device Tree according to Device Tree folks.

In order to address such issues, a devferq_event device (represented by
this patch) provides a template for device drivers representing
performance monitoring unit, which gives the basic or raw data for
preformance requirement, which in turn, is required by devfreq governors.

The following description explains the feature of two kind of devfreq class:
- devfreq class (existing)
 : devfreq consumer device use raw data from devfreq_event device for
   determining proper current system state and change voltage/frequency
   dynamically using various governors.

- devfreq_event class (new)
 : Provide measured raw data to devfreq device for governor

83fe27ea53 rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU
SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.

The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
use of SRCU are selected.

If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

adad5621f3 PM / devfreq: Remove ARCH_HAS_OPP completely
The Kconfig symbol ARCH_HAS_OPP became redundant in v3.16: commit
049d595a4d ("PM / OPP: Make OPP invisible to users in Kconfig")
removed the only dependency that used it. Setting it had no effect
anymore.

So commit 78c5e0bb14 ("PM / OPP: Remove ARCH_HAS_OPP") removed it. For
some reason that commit did not remove all select statements for that
symbol. These statements are now useless. Remove one from devfreq too.

7b40503811 PM/Devfreq: Add Exynos4-bus device DVFS driver for Exynos4210/4212/4412.
Exynos4-bus device devfreq driver add DVFS capability for
Exynos4210/4212/4412-Bus (memory). The driver monitors PPMU counters of memory
controllers and adjusts operating frequencies and voltages with OPP.
For Exynos4210, vdd_int is controlled. For exynos4412/4212, vdd_mif and
vdd_int are controlled.

Dependency (CONFIG_EXYNOS_ASV):
Exynos4 ASV driver has been posted in the mailing list; however, it
si not yet upstreamed. Although the current revision of Exynos4 ASV
patch does not contain "CONFIG_EXYNOS_ASV", we have added the symbol
to hide the dependent from compilers for now. As soon as Exynos4 ASV
drivers are merged, the #ifdef statement will be removed or the
name will be changed.

However, enabling ASV is essential in most Exynos4 chips to reduce
the power consumption of Exynos4210 because without ASV, this Devfreq
driver assumes the worst case scenario, which consumes more power.

ce26c5bb95 PM / devfreq: Add basic governors
Four cpufreq-like governors are provided as examples.

powersave: use the lowest frequency possible. The user (device) should
set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this governor.

performance: use the highest freqeuncy possible. The user (device)
should set the polling_ms as 0 because polling is useless for this
governor.

userspace: use the user specified frequency stored at
devfreq.user_set_freq. With sysfs support in the following patch, a user
may set the value with the sysfs interface.

simple_ondemand: simplified version of cpufreq's ondemand governor.

When a user updates OPP entries (enable/disable/add), OPP framework
automatically notifies devfreq to update operating frequency
accordingly. Thus, devfreq users (device drivers) do not need to update
devfreq manually with OPP entry updates or set polling_ms for powersave
, performance, userspace, or any other "static" governors.

Note that these are given only as basic examples for governors and any
devices with devfreq may implement their own governors with the drivers
and use them.

a3c98b8b2e PM: Introduce devfreq: generic DVFS framework with device-specific OPPs
With OPPs, a device may have multiple operable frequency and voltage
sets. However, there can be multiple possible operable sets and a system
will need to choose one from them. In order to reduce the power
consumption (by reducing frequency and voltage) without affecting the
performance too much, a Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS)
scheme may be used.

This patch introduces the DVFS capability to non-CPU devices with OPPs.
DVFS is a techique whereby the frequency and supplied voltage of a
device is adjusted on-the-fly. DVFS usually sets the frequency as low
as possible with given conditions (such as QoS assurance) and adjusts
voltage according to the chosen frequency in order to reduce power
consumption and heat dissipation.

The generic DVFS for devices, devfreq, may appear quite similar with
/drivers/cpufreq.  However, cpufreq does not allow to have multiple
devices registered and is not suitable to have multiple heterogenous
devices with different (but simple) governors.

Normally, DVFS mechanism controls frequency based on the demand for
the device, and then, chooses voltage based on the chosen frequency.
devfreq also controls the frequency based on the governor's frequency
recommendation and let OPP pick up the pair of frequency and voltage
based on the recommended frequency. Then, the chosen OPP is passed to
device driver's "target" callback.

When PM QoS is going to be used with the devfreq device, the device
driver should enable OPPs that are appropriate with the current PM QoS
requests. In order to do so, the device driver may call opp_enable and
opp_disable at the notifier callback of PM QoS so that PM QoS's
update_target() call enables the appropriate OPPs. Note that at least
one of OPPs should be enabled at any time; be careful when there is a
transition.
