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.

<title>cpufreq: delete __cpuinit usage from all cpufreq files</title>

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.

<title>cpufreq: rename index as driver_data in cpufreq_frequency_table</title>

<content type='text'>
The "index" field of struct cpufreq_frequency_table was never an
index and isn't used at all by the cpufreq core.  It only is useful
for cpufreq drivers for their internal purposes.

Many people nowadays blindly set it in ascending order with the
assumption that the core will use it, which is a mistake.

Rename it to "driver_data" as that's what its purpose is. All of its
users are updated accordingly.

policy-&gt;cpus contains all online cpus that have single shared clock line. And
their frequencies are always updated together.

Many SMP system's cpufreq drivers take care of this in individual drivers but
the best place for this code is in cpufreq core.

This patch modifies cpufreq_notify_transition() to notify frequency change for
all cpus in policy-&gt;cpus and hence updates all users of this API.

This is only solution I can think of. User decides if he wants this
driver on his machine. I don't have enough knowledge and time to find
the reason why same code works on some machines and doesn't on others
which use the same, or very similar, chipset and processor.

<title>cpufreq: Add support for x86 cpuinfo auto loading v4</title>

<content type='text'>
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
