Changes to the cpufreq stats driver:
* Changes the way P-state transition table looks in /sysfs providing more
clear output
* Changes the time unit in the output from HZ to clock_t

Here is a change of policy for the ondemand governor. The modification
concerns the frequency downscaling. Instead of decreasing to a lower
frequency when the CPU usage is under 20%, this new policy automatically
scales to the optimal frequency. The optimal frequency being the lowest
frequency which provides enough power to not trigger the upscaling policy.

[CPUFREQ] Conservative cpufreq governer
A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
just posted. This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
rather than flip between the min and max freq's.
N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
(200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

[CPUFREQ] Recalibrate cpu_khz [1/2]
We have to recalibrate cpu_khz in order to use the current FID instead the max

flush_icache_range() is used in two different situation - in binfmt_elf.c &
