[PATCH] PM_QOS updates for 2.6.34-rc1

[PATCH] PM_QOS updates for 2.6.34-rc1

[640E9920]

The following patch series implements to following:
1) pm_qos now uses a handle based implementation.  No more string
compares while walking lists.
2) renames the exports to using more accurate names.
3) updates kernel clients of pm_qos per this change
4) added ascii interface to pmqos recognizing strings formatted in 10
charactor format "0x12345678"
5) added new pm_qos class, "system_bus_throughput"

I would like to see this series make it into 2.6.34 if its not too late. 

I was able to test it on my laptop and comments welcome.

Thank you!

I believe it is... -rc1 is past us.

Also... the way the patches are structured... that will break bisect,
no?

It definitely is.

Not only that.  Some changelogs would be heartily welcome.  In short, what
change the particular patch is going to make and why it's useful.

crap.  I'll guess I'll redo them for next then.

Um not sure, how would you recomend I structure them?

Generally speaking, the kernel should build and should work correctly after
applying each consecutive patch in the series.

I think you would need to have the handle based method along side the
old method until all the kernel clients are converted.. Then remove the
old method ..
