[PATCH v4 0/5] Simplify hotplug/suspend handling

[Saravana Kannan]

Series of patchs to simplify policy/sysfs/kobj/locking handling across
suspend/resume

The following have been tested so far on a 2x2 cluster environment:
- Boot with 2 cpus and no cpufreq driver.
- mod probe driver and see cpufreq sysfs files show up only for the 1st cluster.
- Online the rest of the 2 CPUs and have files show up correctly.
- rmmod the driver and see the files go away.
- modprobe again (or back and forth multiples times) and see it work.
- suspend/resume works as expected.
- When a cluster is offline, all read/writes to its sysfs files return an error

v4
- Split it up into smaller patches
- Will handle physical CPU removal correctly
- Fixed earlier mistake of deleting code under !recover_policy
- Dropped some code refactor that reuses a lot of code between add/remove
- Dropped fix for exiting hotplug race with cpufreq driver probe/rmmod
- Dropped changes will come later once this series is acked.


Saravana Kannan (5):
  cpufreq: Don't wait for CPU to going offline to restart governor
  cpufreq: Keep track of which CPU owns the kobj/sysfs nodes separately
  cpufreq: Don't destroy/realloc policy/sysfs on hotplug/suspend
  cpufreq: Properly handle physical CPU hot-add/hot-remove
  cpufreq: Delete dead code related to policy save/restore
