Commit 4b31e774 (Always set P-state on initialization) fixed bug
#4634 and caused the driver to always set the target P-State at
least once since the initial P-State may not be the desired one.
Commit 5a1c0228 (cpufreq: Avoid calling cpufreq driver's target()
routine if target_freq == policy->cur) caused a regression in
this behavior.
This fixes the regression by setting policy->cur based on the CPU's
target frequency rather than the CPU's current reported frequency
(which may be different). This means that the P-State will be set
initially if the CPU's target frequency is different from the
governor's target frequency.
This fixes an issue where setting the default governor to
performance wouldn't correctly enable turbo mode on all cores.

The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an
index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core. It only is useful
for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes.
Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the
assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake.
Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is. All of its
users are updated accordingly.

When we don't have any file in cpu/cpufreq directory we shouldn't
create it. Specially with the introduction of per-policy governor
instance patchset, even governors are moved to
cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/governor-name directory and so this directory is
just not required.
Lets have it only when required.

policy->cpus contains all online cpus that have single shared clock line. And
their frequencies are always updated together.
Many SMP system's cpufreq drivers take care of this in individual drivers but
the best place for this code is in cpufreq core.
This patch modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to notify frequency change for
all cpus in policy->cpus and hence updates all users of this API.

With the addition of following patch:
fcf8058 cpufreq: Simplify cpufreq_add_dev()
cpufreq driver's .init() routine must initialize policy->cpus with
mask of all possible CPUs (Online + Offline) that share the clock.
Then the core would copy this mask onto policy->related_cpus and will
reset policy->cpus to carry only online cpus.
acpi-cpufreq driver wasn't updated with this assumption and so
sometimes when we try to hot[un]plug CPUs at run time, sysfs
directories get corrupted.
This patch fixes acpi-cpufreq driver against this corruption.

de3ed81d74 ("[CPUFREQ] Change link order of x86 cpufreq modules")
changed cpufreq drivers link order so that powernow-k8 gets loaded first
due to earlier K8s having BIOS bugs.
However, now that acpi-cpufreq supports both AMD and Intel CPUs with HW
P-states, we want to load it first, so that cases where acpi-cpufreq and
powernow-k8 are both built-in and powernow-k8 initializing first, can be
addressed.
So, make sure that even if acpi-cpufreq gets loaded first, it errors out
on K8s and powernow-k8 can be loaded then successfully.

The acpi core will call request_module("acpi-cpufreq") on subsystem init,
but this will fail if the module isn't available at that stage of boot.
Add some module aliases to ensure that udev can load the module on Intel
and AMD systems with the appropriate feature bits - I /think/ that this
will also work on VIA systems, but haven't verified that.

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.

One feature present in powernow-k8 that isn't present in acpi-cpufreq
is support for enabling or disabling AMD's core performance boost
technology. This patch adds support to acpi-cpufreq, but also
includes support for Intel's dynamic acceleration.
The original boost disabling sysfs file was per CPU, but acted
globally. Also the naming (cpb) was at least not intuitive.
So lets introduce a single file simply called "boost", which sits
once in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq.
This should be the only way of using this feature, so add
documentation about the rationale and the usage.
A following patch will re-introduce the cpb knob for compatibility
reasons on AMD CPUs.
Per-CPU boost switching is possible, but not trivial and is thus
postponed to a later patch series.

To workaround some Windows specific behavior, the ACPI _PSD table
on AMD desktop boards advertises all cores as dependent, meaning
that they all can only use the same P-state. acpi-cpufreq strictly
obeys this description, instantiating one CPU only and symlinking
the others. But the hardware can have distinct frequencies for each
core and powernow-k8 did it that way.
So, in order to use the hardware to its full potential and keep the
original powernow-k8 behavior, lets override the _PSD table setting
on AMD hardware.
We use the siblings table, as it matches the current hardware
behavior.

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.

acpi-cpufreq checks each CPU for aperf/mperf support, but only sets a
global flag. This will cause errors if some CPUs in the system don't
support the feature. Check boot_cpu_has() instead in order to make sure
that all CPUs support it.
