Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the BIOS and OSPM. Based on the server workload, OSPM can request what frequency it expects from a logical CPU, and the BIOS will achieve that frequency transparently. This patch introduces driver support for PCC. OSPM uses the PCC driver to communicate with the BIOS via the PCC interface. There is a Documentation file that provides a link to the PCC Specification, and also provides a summary of the PCC interface. Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. However, any platform whose BIOS implements the PCC Specification, can utilize this driver. V2 --> V1 changes (based on Dominik's suggestions): - Removed the dependency on CPU_FREQ_TABLE - "cpufreq_stats" will no longer PANIC. Actually, it will not load anymore because it is not applicable. - Removed the sanity check for target frequency in the ->target routine. NOTE: A patch to sanitize the target frequency requested by "ondemand" is needed to ensure that the target freq < policy->min. Can this driver be queued up for the 2.6.33 tree?
