ACPI and power management fixes for 3.9-rc2

- Two fixes for the new intel_pstate driver from Dirk Brandewie.
 
 - Fix for incorrect usage of the .find_bridge() callback from struct
   acpi_bus_type in the USB core and subsequent removal of that
   callback from Rafael J. Wysocki.
 
 - ACPI processor driver cleanups from Chen Gang and Syam Sidhardhan.
 
 - ACPI initialization and error messages fix from Joe Perches.
 
 - Operating Performance Points documentation improvement from
   Nishanth Menon.
 
 - Fixes for memory leaks and potential concurrency issues and sysfs
   attributes leaks during device removal in the core device PM QoS
   code from Rafael J. Wysocki.
 
 - Calxeda Highbank cpufreq driver simplification from Emilio López.
 
 - cpufreq comment cleanup from Namhyung Kim.
 
 - Fix for a section mismatch in Calxeda Highbank interprocessor
   communication code from Mark Langsdorf (this is not a PM fix
   strictly speaking, but the code in question went in through the
   PM tree).

1. Introduction
===============
1.1 What is an Operating Performance Point (OPP)?
Complex SoCs of today consists of a multiple sub-modules working in conjunction.
In an operational system executing varied use cases, not all modules in the SoC
need to function at their highest performing frequency all the time. To
facilitate this, sub-modules in a SoC are grouped into domains, allowing some
domains to run at lower voltage and frequency while other domains are loaded
more. The set of discrete tuples consisting of frequency and voltage pairs that
domains to run at lower voltage and frequency while other domains run at
voltage/frequency pairs that are higher.
The set of discrete tuples consisting of frequency and voltage pairs that
the device will support per domain are called Operating Performance Points or
OPPs.
As an example:
Let us consider an MPU device which supports the following:
{300MHz at minimum voltage of 1V}, {800MHz at minimum voltage of 1.2V},
{1GHz at minimum voltage of 1.3V}
We can represent these as three OPPs as the following {Hz, uV} tuples:
{300000000, 1000000}
{800000000, 1200000}
{1000000000, 1300000}
1.2 Operating Performance Points Library
OPP library provides a set of helper functions to organize and query the OPP
information. The library is located in drivers/base/power/opp.c and the header
is located in include/linux/opp.h. OPP library can be enabled by enabling
