1c2562459f [CPUFREQ] allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as default
Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the
ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq
drivers.  Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range
of systems.  This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the
performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not
support fast enough frequency switching.

Main benefit is that on e.g.  installation or other systems without
userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most
systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver.  This is especially essential
for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic
cpufreq OS support.

f0ec313a89 [CPUFREQ] CPU_FREQ_TABLE shouldn't be a def_tristate
CPU_FREQ_TABLE enables helper code and gets select'ed when it's required.

Building it as a module when it's not required doesn't seem to make much sense.

b9170836d1 [CPUFREQ] Conservative cpufreq governer
A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
just posted.  This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
rather than flip between the min and max freq's.

N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
(200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
