• adc97d6a7   cpufreq: Drop the owner field from struct cpufreq_driver ... Browse Code »

  We don't need to set .owner = THIS_MODULE any more in cpufreq drivers
  as this field isn't used any more by the cpufreq core.

  This patch removes it and updates all dependent drivers accordingly.

• 2760984f6   cpufreq: delete __cpuinit usage from all cpufreq files ... Browse Code »

  The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
  some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
  do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
  commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
  is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
  with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

  After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
  the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
  we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

  This removes all the drivers/cpufreq uses of the __cpuinit macros
  from all C files.

• fa8031aef   cpufreq: Add support for x86 cpuinfo auto loading v4 ... Browse Code »

  This marks all the x86 cpuinfo tables to the CPU specific device drivers,
  to allow auto loading by udev. This should simplify the distribution
  startup scripts for this greatly.

  I didn't add MODULE_DEVICE_IDs to the centrino and p4-clockmod drivers,
  because those probably shouldn't be auto loaded and the acpi driver
  be used instead (not fully sure on that, would appreciate feedback)

  The old nforce drivers autoload based on the PCI ID.

  ACPI cpufreq is autoloaded in another patch.

  v3: Autoload gx based on PCI IDs only. Remove cpu check (Dave Jones)
  v4: Use newly introduce HW_PSTATE feature for powernow-k8 loading
