[PATCH V3 0/5] cpufreq: Use QoS layer to manage freq-constraints

[Viresh Kumar]

Hello,

This patchset attempts to manage CPU frequency constraints using the PM
QoS framework. It only does the basic stuff right now and moves the
userspace constraints to use the QoS infrastructure.

Todo:
- Migrate all users to the QoS framework and get rid of cpufreq specific
  notifiers.
- Make PM QoS learn about the relation of CPUs in a policy, so a single
  list of constraints is managed for all of them instead of per-cpu
  constraints.

V2->V3:
- Add a comment in cpufreq.c as suggested by Qais.
- Rebased on latest pm/linux-next.

V1->V2:
- The previous version introduced a completely new framework, this one
  moves to PM QoS instead.
- Lots of changes because of this.
