What is the value shown in "cpu MHz" of /proc/cpuinfo when CPUs are capable of
changing frequency?
Today the answer is: It depends.
On i386:
SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency
UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set.
On x86_64:
There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So,
the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the
CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc
capable CPU or not.
On ia64:
It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed.
The patch below changes this to:
Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If
cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency
will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

Fix up comment in cpufreq.h stating transition latency should be passed
in microseconds -- it was decided long ago to switch to nanoseconds.

In order to properly fix some issues with cpufreq vs. sleep on
PowerBooks, I had to add a suspend callback to the pmac_cpufreq driver.
I must force a switch to full speed before sleep and I switch back to
previous speed on resume.
I also added a driver flag to disable the warnings in suspend/resume
since it is expected in this case to have different speed (and I want it
to fixup the jiffies properly).

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!
