Pull more ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are fixups on top of the previous PM+ACPI pull request,
  regression fixes (ACPI hotplug, cpufreq ppc-corenet), other bug fixes
  (ACPI reset, cpufreq), new PM trace points for system suspend
  profiling and a copyright notice update.

  Specifics:

   - I didn't remember correctly that the Hans de Goede's ACPI video
     patches actually didn't flip the video.use_native_backlight
     default, although we had discussed that and decided to do that.
     Since I said we would do that in the previous PM+ACPI pull request,
     make that change for real now.

   - ACPI bus check notifications for PCI host bridges don't cause the
     bus below the host bridge to be checked for changes as they should
     because of a mistake in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP)
     subsystem that forgets to add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridge
     ACPI device objects.  Create hotplug contexts for PCI host bridges
     too as appropriate.

   - Revert recent cpufreq commit related to the big.LITTLE cpufreq
     driver that breaks arm64 builds.

   - Fix for a regression in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver introduced
     during the 3.15 cycle and causing the driver to use the remainder
     from do_div instead of the quotient.  From Ed Swarthout.

   - Resets triggered by panic activate a BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c on
     systems where the ACPI reset register is located in memory address
     space.  Fix from Randy Wright.

   - Fix for a problem with cpufreq governors that decisions made by
     them may be suboptimal due to the fact that deferrable timers are
     used by them for CPU load sampling.  From Srivatsa S Bhat.

   - Fix for a problem with the Tegra cpufreq driver where the CPU
     frequency is temporarily switched to a "stable" level that is
     different from both the initial and target frequencies during
     transitions which causes udelay() to expire earlier than it should
     sometimes.  From Viresh Kumar.

   - New trace points and rework of some existing trace points for
     system suspend/resume profiling from Todd Brandt.

   - Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Stratos Karafotis and
     Viresh Kumar.

   - Copyright notice update for suspend-and-cpuhotplug.txt from
     Srivatsa S Bhat"

Pull module updates from Rusty Russell:
 "Most of this is cleaning up various driver sysfs permissions so we can
