[PATCH v2 02/10] cpufreq: provide data for frequency-invariant load-tracking support

[Dietmar Eggemann]

A frequency-invariant load-tracking solution based on cpufreq transition
notifier will not work for future fast frequency switching policies.
That is why a different solution is presented with this patch.

Let cpufreq call the function arch_set_freq_scale() to pass the current
frequency, the max supported frequency and the cpumask of the related
cpus to a consumer (an arch) which defines arch_set_freq_scale().

The consumer has to associate arch_set_freq_scale with the name of its
own implementation foo_set_freq_scale() to overwrite the empty standard
definition in drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c.
An arch could do this in one of its arch-specific header files
(e.g. arch/$ARCH/include/asm/topology.h) which gets included in
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c.

In case arch_set_freq_scale() is not defined (and because of the
pr_debug() drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c is not compiled with -DDEBUG) the
function cpufreq_set_freq_scale() gets compiled out.
