Subject: [PATCH 0/4] OPP usage fixes for RCU locking

Hi,
Despite being documented in function documentation and in
Documentation/power/opp.txt, many of the users of OPP APIs
dont honor RCU lock usage appropriately.

This recently appeared in IRC discussion earlier today [1]. 
I did an audit of current usage and the following series
is a result of this.

NOTE:
1. The patch "PM / devfreq: exynos4_bus: honor RCU lock usage" has only
   been build tested as I dont have an exynos platform to try it on. I have
   tried to make it as least intrusive as possible and at least reviewed
   to ensure I haven't screwed anything up.

Other than this, I have added appropriate tested by information in requisite
patches.

Series is based off: v3.8-rc4 tag
Also available in the following location[2]:
https://github.com/nmenon/linux-2.6-playground branch: post/pm/opp-fixes-v1

Nishanth Menon (4):
  cpufreq: OMAP: use RCU locks around usage of OPP
  cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: use RCU locks around usage of OPP
  PM / devfreq: add locking documentation for recommend_opp
  PM / devfreq: exynos4_bus: honor RCU lock usage
