On Intel CPUs the processor typically uses the highest frequency
set by any logical CPU. When the system overheats
Linux first forces the frequency to the lowest available one
to lower the temperature.
However this was done only per logical CPU, which means all
logical CPUs in a package would need to go through this before
the frequency is actually lowered.
Worse this delay actually prevents real throttling, because
the real throttle code only proceeds when the lowest frequency
is already reached.
So when a throttle event happens force the lowest frequency
for all CPUs in the package where it happened. The per CPU
state is now kept per package, not per logical CPU. An alternative
would be to do it per cpufreq unit, but since we want to bring
down the temperature of the complete chip it's better
to do it for all.
In principle it may even make sense to do it for all CPUs,
but I kept it on the package for now.
With this change the frequency is actually lowered, which
in terms also allows real throttling to proceed.
I also removed an unnecessary per cpu variable initialization.

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem
and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are
implemented as subsystem interfaces now.
After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.
Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.
Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.
Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.
The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

Now whether the ACPI processor proc I/F is registered depends on the
CONFIG_PROC. It had better depend on the CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS.
When the CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS is unset in kernel configuration, the

Register ACPI processor as thermal cooling devices.
A combination of processor T-state and P-state are used for thermal throttling.
the processor will reduce the frequency first and then set the T-state.
we use cpufreq_thermal_reduction_pctg to calculate the cpufreq limit,
and call cpufreq_verify_with_limit to set the cpufreq limit.
if cpufreq driver is loaded, then we have four cooling state for cpufreq control.
cooling state 0: cpufreq limit == max_freq
cooling state 1: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 80%
cooling state 2: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 60%
cooling state 3: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 40%
after the cpufreq limit is set to 40 percentage of the max_freq,
we use T-state for cooling.
eg. a processor has P-state support, and it has 8 T-state (T0-T7),
the max_state of the proceesor is 10:
state cpufreq-limit T-state
0: max_freq T0
1: max_freq * 80% T0
2: max_freq * 60% T0
3: max_freq * 40% T0
4: max_freq * 40% T1
5: max_freq * 40% T2
6: max_freq * 40% T3
7: max_freq * 40% T4
8: max_freq * 40% T5
9: max_freq * 40% T6
10: max_freq * 40% T7

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
