[PATCH v4 6/7] cpufreq: Support for fast frequency switching

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

Modify the ACPI cpufreq driver to provide a method for switching
CPU frequencies from interrupt context and update the cpufreq core
to support that method if available.

Introduce a new cpufreq driver callback, ->fast_switch, to be
invoked for frequency switching from interrupt context by (future)
governors supporting that feature via (new) helper function
cpufreq_driver_fast_switch().

Add two new policy flags, fast_switch_possible, to be set by the
cpufreq driver if fast frequency switching can be used for the
given policy and fast_switch_enabled, to be set by the governor
if it is going to use fast frequency switching for the given
policy.  Also add a helper for setting the latter.

Since fast frequency switching is inherently incompatible with
cpufreq transition notifiers, make it possible to set the
fast_switch_enabled only if there are no transition notifiers
already registered and make the registration of new transition
notifiers fail if fast_switch_enabled is set for at least one
policy.

Implement the ->fast_switch callback in the ACPI cpufreq driver
and make it set fast_switch_possible during policy initialization
as appropriate.

Changes from v3:
- New fast_switch_enabled field in struct cpufreq_policy to help
  avoid affecting existing setups by setting the fast_switch_possible
  flag in the driver.
- __cpufreq_get() skips the policy->cur check if fast_switch_enabled is set.

Changes from v2:
- The driver ->fast_switch callback and cpufreq_driver_fast_switch()
  don't need the relation argument as they will always do RELATION_L now.
- New mechanism to make fast switch and cpufreq notifiers mutually
  exclusive.
- cpufreq_driver_fast_switch() doesn't do anything in addition to
  invoking the driver callback and returns its return value.
