Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the cpuid_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at boot time.

<title>driver core: class: remove module * from class_create()</title>

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it
shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did
something.  So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in
the kernel tree at the same time.

The devnode() in struct class should not be modifying the device that is
passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the function
signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use this
callback.

<title>x86/cpuid: Allow cpuid_read() to schedule</title>

High latencies can be observed caused by a daemon periodically reading
CPUID on all cpus. On KASAN enabled kernels ~10ms latencies can be
observed. Even without KASAN, sending an IPI to a CPU, which is in a deep
sleep state or in a long hard IRQ disabled section, waiting for the answer
can consume hundreds of microseconds.

cpuid_read() is invoked in preemptible context, so it can be converted to
sleep instead of busy wait.

Switching to smp_call_function_single_async() and a completion allows to
reschedule and reduces CPU usage and latencies.

 "This is the final round of converting the notifier mess to the state
  machine. The removal of the notifiers and the related infrastructure
  will happen around rc1, as there are conversions outstanding in other

  The whole exercise removed about 2000 lines of code in total and in
  course of the conversion several dozen bugs got fixed. The new
  mechanism allows to test almost every hotplug step standalone, so
  usage sites can exercise all transitions extensively.

  There is more room for improvement, like integrating all the

No point to have this file around before the cpu is online and no point to
have it around until the cpu is dead. Get rid of the explicit state.

Install the callbacks via the state machine and let the core invoke
the callbacks on the already online CPUs.

<title>x86/cpuid: Cleanup cpuid_regs definitions</title>

cpuid_regs is defined multiple times as structure and enum. Rename the enum
and move all of it to processor.h so we don't end up with more instances.

Rename the misnomed register enumeration from CR_* to the obvious CPUID_*.

[ tglx: Rewrote changelog ]
