[patch 3/4] cpufreq: Cleanup locking in ondemand governor

From: venkatesh . pallipadi
Date: Thu Jul 02 2009 - 20:28:23 EST


Redesign the locking inside ondemand driver. Make dbs_mutex handle all the
global state changes inside the driver and invent a new percpu mutex
to serialize percpu timer and frequency limit change.
