[PATCH v2 0/7] Cpufreq, cpu hotplug, suspend/resume related fixes

["Srivatsa S. Bhat" <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi,

This patchset reorganizes the cpufreq code and preserves the file permissions
of cpufreq-related per-cpu sysfs files across suspend/resume cycles, by
performing a light-weight init/teardown in those paths.

Patches 1 - 4 reorganize the code and have no functional impact, and can go
in as general cleanups as well. This reorganization builds a base that the
rest of the patches will make use of.

Patch 5 and 6 add a mechanism to perform light-weight init/tear-down of CPUs
in the cpufreq subsystem and finally patch 7 uses it to preserve sysfs files
across suspend/resume.

All the patches apply on Rafael's bleeding-edge branch on linux-pm git
tree[1].


Changes in v2:
* Fixed a refcounting bug explained here:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=137511192600806&w=2

* Addressed some suggestions about code reorganization received in v1.
* Rebased on top of the bleeding-edge branch.
