This patchset adds the core IPS driver to drivers/platform/x86, along
with some helper code in the timer subsystem to allow for deferrable
on-stack timers.

Note that this patchset doesn't include the i915 specific bits for
monitoring power consumption.  We're doing final validation on those
now so I expect to be able to post them soon.

Thanks,

This patchset adds the core IPS driver to drivers/platform/x86, along with
some helper code in the timer subsystem to allow for deferrable on-stack
timers.

Note that the deferrable timers don't actually work at this point; I'm
probably just doing something silly in the IPS driver in using them, but
it's possible the core code is wrong too, I'm hoping for some review
there (so testing thus far has been with a fixed sample rate).

Also note that this patchset doesn't include the i915 specific bits for
monitoring power consumption; I'm still debugging those (my current
platform overreports power by several watts; I'm hoping a production
platform will return reasonable values) but expect to be able to post
them soon.  With the combination of this driver and the i915 code, I
expect significant GPU performance gains; early measurements with simple
loads show about a 15% improvement, but I've heard reports of even
higher.

Anyway, please take a look and let me know what needs fixing or how I
might make this a better driver.

Thanks,
Jesse
