[GIT PULL] ACPI and power management fixes for v3.11-rc4

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

Hi Linus,

Please pull from the git repository at

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git pm+acpi-3.11-rc4

to receive ACPI and power management fixes for v3.11-rc4 with
top-most commit 2b44c4db2e2f1765d35163a861d301038e0c8a75

  freezer: set PF_SUSPEND_TASK flag on tasks that call freeze_processes

on top of commit 5ae90d8e467e625e447000cb4335c4db973b1095

  Linux 3.11-rc3

These revert two cpuidle commits from 3.8 that turn out to hurt performance,
fix a recent s2disk regression related to the freezer, fix cpufreq reference
couting problem uncovered by one of the recent reverts and fix a particularly
embarrassing bug in the ACPI battery driver.

Specifics:

- Revert two cpuidle commits added during the 3.8 development cycle that
  turn out to have introduced a significant performance regression as
  requested by Jeremy Eder.

- The recent patches that made the freezer less heavy-weight introduced
  a regression causing user-space-driven hibernation using the ioctl()
  interface to block indefinitely when the hibernate process executes
  try_to_freeze().  Fix from Colin Cross addresses this by adding a
  process flag to mark the hibernate/suspend process to inform the
  freezer that that process should be ignored.

- One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core
  causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after
  a system suspend-resume cycle.  Fix from yours truly.

- The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked
  correctly, because the commit that added support for it forgot to
  take the "Revision" field in the return package into account.  As
  a result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some
  systems, which is addressed by a fix from Lan Tianyu.

Thanks!
