The clean targets from the cpupower tools' Makefiles use brace expansion to
remove some generated files. However, the default shells on many systems do
not support this feature resulting in some generated files not being removed
by clean.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

This patch allows cpupower tool to generate its output files in a
seperate directory. This is now possible by passing the 'O=<path>' to
the command line.
This can be usefull for a normal user if the kernel source code is
located in a read only location.
This is patch stole some bits of the perf makefile.

Use the '-p' and '-o' switches to specify the pathname of the output
file to xgettext(1). This avoids to move manually the output file if
xgettext(1) succeeds.

UTIL_BINS and IDLE_OBJS variables are not defined at all, so
there's no need to remove their content from the 'clean' target.

Which makes the implementation independent from cpufreq drivers.
Therefore this would also work on a Xen kernel where the hypervisor
is doing frequency switching and idle entering.

As cpupowerutils is intended to be included into the kernel sources,
use the kernel versioning instead of a custom version.
The script utils/version-gen.sh is largely based on the script already
found in tools/perf/util/PERF-VERSION-GEN .

CPU power consumption vs performance tuning is no longer
limited to CPU frequency switching anymore: deep sleep states,
traditional dynamic frequency scaling and hidden turbo/boost
frequencies are tied close together and depend on each other.
The first two exist on different architectures like PPC, Itanium and
ARM, the latter (so far) only on X86. On X86 the APU (CPU+GPU) will
only run most efficiently if CPU and GPU has proper power management
in place.
Users and Developers want to have *one* tool to get an overview what
their system supports and to monitor and debug CPU power management
in detail. The tool should compile and work on as many architectures
as possible.
Once this tool stabilizes a bit, it is intended to replace the
Intel-specific tools in tools/power/x86
