This patch is a preparation for the multiple cpuidle drivers support.
As the next patch will introduce the multiple drivers with the Kconfig
option and we want to keep the code clean and understandable, this patch
defines a set of functions for encapsulating some common parts and splits
what should be done under a lock from the rest.

The code is racy and the check with cpuidle_curr_driver should be
done under the lock.
I don't find a path in the different drivers where that could happen
because the arch specific drivers are written in such way it is not
possible to register a driver while it is unregistered, except maybe
in a very improbable case when "intel_idle" and "processor_idle" are
competing. One could unregister a driver, while the other one is
registering.

The "struct device" is only used in sysfs.c.
The other .c files including the private header "cpuidle.h"
do not need to pull the entire headers tree from there as they
don't manipulate the "struct device".
This patch fixes this by moving the header inclusion to sysfs.c
and adding a forward declaration for the struct device.

The function detect_repeating_patterns was not very useful for
workloads with alternating long and short pauses, for example
virtual machines handling network requests for each other (say
a web and database server).
Instead, try to find a recent sleep interval that is somewhere
between the median and the mode sleep time, by discarding outliers
to the up side and recalculating the average and standard deviation
until that is no longer required.
This should do something sane with a sleep interval series like:
200 180 210 10000 30 1000 170 200
The current code would simply discard such a series, while the
new code will guess a typical sleep interval just shy of 200.

When cpuidle governor choose a C-state to enter for idle CPU, but it notice that
there is tasks request to be executed. So the idle CPU will not really enter
the target C-state and go to run task.
In this situation, it will use the residency of previous really entered target
C-states. Obviously, it is not reasonable.
So, this patch fix it by set the target C-state residency to 0.

The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction
fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to
quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving.
The patch extends to general case that prediction logic get a small predicted
residency, so it choose a shallow C-state though the expected residency is large
. Once the prediction will be fail, the CPU will keep staying at shallow C-state
for a long time. Acutally, the CPU has change enter into deep C-state.
So when the expected residency is long enough but governor choose a shallow
C-state, an timer will be added in order to monitor if the prediction failure.
When C-state is waken up prior to the adding timer, the timer will be cancelled
initiatively. When the timer is triggered and menu governor will quickly notice
prediction failure and re-evaluates deeper C-states possibility.

The prediction for future is difficult and when the cpuidle governor prediction
fails and govenor possibly choose the shallower C-state than it should. How to
quickly notice and find the failure becomes important for power saving.
cpuidle menu governor has a method to predict the repeat pattern if there are 8
C-states residency which are continuous and the same or very close, so it will
predict the next C-states residency will keep same residency time.
There is a real case that turbostat utility (tools/power/x86/turbostat)
at kernel 3.3 or early. turbostat utility will read 10 registers one by one at
Sandybridge, so it will generate 10 IPIs to wake up idle CPUs. So cpuidle menu
governor will predict it is repeat mode and there is another IPI wake up idle
CPU soon, so it keeps idle CPU stay at C1 state even though CPU is totally
idle. However, in the turbostat, following 10 registers reading is sleep 5
seconds by default, so the idle CPU will keep at C1 for a long time though it is
idle until break event occurs.
In a idle Sandybridge system, run "./turbostat -v", we will notice that deep
C-state dangles between "70% ~ 99%". After patched the kernel, we will notice
deep C-state stays at >99.98%.
In the patch, a timer is added when menu governor detects a repeat mode and
choose a shallow C-state. The timer is set to a time out value that greater
than predicted time, and we conclude repeat mode prediction failure if timer is
triggered. When repeat mode happens as expected, the timer is not triggered
and CPU waken up from C-states and it will cancel the timer initiatively.
When repeat mode does not happen, the timer will be time out and menu governor
will quickly notice that the repeat mode prediction fails and then re-evaluates
deeper C-states possibility.

We will find that deep C-state will dangle between 40%~100% and much time spent
on C1 state. It is because menu governor wrongly predict that repeat mode
is kept, so it will choose the C1 shallow C-state even though it has chance to
sleep 1 second in deep C-state.
While after patched the kernel, we find that deep C-state will keep >99.6%.

Arrays for governer and driver name are of size CPUFREQ_NAME_LEN or 16.
i.e. 15 bytes for name and 1 for trailing '\0'.
When cpufreq driver print these names (for sysfs), it includes '\n' or ' ' in
the fmt string and still passes length as CPUFREQ_NAME_LEN. If the driver or
governor names are using all 15 fields allocated to them, then the trailing '\n'
or ' ' will never be printed. And so commands like:
root@linaro-developer# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
will print something like:
cpufreq_foodrvroot@linaro-developer#

Currently, whoever wants to use ACPI device resources has to call
acpi_walk_resources() to browse the buffer returned by the _CRS
method for the given device and create filters passed to that
routine to apply to the individual resource items. This generally
is cumbersome, time-consuming and inefficient. Moreover, it may
be problematic if resource conflicts need to be resolved, because
the different users of _CRS will need to do that in a consistent
way. However, if there are resource conflicts, the ACPI core
should be able to resolve them centrally instead of relying on
various users of acpi_walk_resources() to handle them correctly
together.
For this reason, introduce a new function, acpi_dev_get_resources(),
that can be used by subsystems to obtain a list of struct resource
objects corresponding to the ACPI device resources returned by
_CRS and, if necessary, to apply additional preprocessing routine
to the ACPI resources before converting them to the struct resource
format.
Make the ACPI code that creates platform device objects use
acpi_dev_get_resources() for resource processing instead of executing
acpi_walk_resources() twice by itself, which causes it to be much
more straightforward and easier to follow.
In the future, acpi_dev_get_resources() can be extended to meet
the needs of the ACPI PNP subsystem and other users of _CRS in
the kernel.
