governor
Future AMD processors, starting with Family 16h, can provide software
with feedback on how the workload may respond to frequency change --
memory-bound workloads will not benefit from higher frequency, where
as compute-bound workloads will. This patch enables this "frequency
sensitivity feedback" to aid the ondemand governor to make better
frequency change decisions by hooking into the powersave bias.

Pull driver core patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"Here is the big driver core merge for 3.9-rc1
There are two major series here, both of which touch lots of drivers
all over the kernel, and will cause you some merge conflicts:
- add a new function called devm_ioremap_resource() to properly be
able to check return values.
- remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
Other than those patches, there's not much here, some minor fixes and
updates"
Fix up trivial conflicts

Load order is important in order for intel_pstate to take over as the
default scaling driver from acpi-cpufreq.
If both are built-in, acpi-cpufreq uses late_initcall() and
intel_pstate uses device_initcall() so it will be able to register as
the scaling before acpi-cpufreq for the processors supported by
intel_pstate.
If acpi-cpufreq is built as a module then intel_pstate still gets
first option to become the scaling driver.

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.

Andreas reports in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51741
that with his Gentoo config, acpi-cpufreq wasn't enabled and
powernow-k8 couldn't handoff properly to acpi-cpufreq leading to
running without P-state support (i.e., cores are constantly in P0).
To alleaviate that, we need to make powernow-k8 depend on acpi-cpufreq
so that acpi-cpufreq is always present.

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

The powernow-k8 driver supported a sysfs knob called "cpb", which was
instantiated per CPU, but actually acted globally for the whole
system. To keep some compatibility with this feature, we re-introduce
this behavior here, but:
a) only enable it on AMD CPUs and
b) protect it with a Kconfig switch
I'd like to consider this feature obsolete. Lets keep it around for
some kernel versions and then phase it out.

cpufreq modules are often loaded from init scripts that assume that
all recent AMD systems will use powernow-k8.
To inform the user of the change of support and ease the transition
to acpi-cpufreq, emit a warning message.

The programming model for P-states on modern AMD CPUs is very similar to
that of Intel and VIA. It makes sense to consolidate this support into one
driver rather than duplicating functionality between two of them. This
patch adds support for AMDs with hardware P-state control to acpi-cpufreq.
