Subject: [PATCH 0/3] cpufreq: governor: Data structure rearrangement

Hi,

This was part of my recent cleanup series
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=145463901630950&w=4), but Viresh had a good
point about the patch doing too much and possibly going too far, so I've
reworked it into a series of three smaller patches and dropped some more
aggressive changes.

[1/3] simplifies cpufreq_governor_limits() to access the policy via its
      argument directly.
[2/3] rearranges the data structures so policy->governor_data points to the
      struct policy_dbs corresponding to that policy and the latter points
      to a struct dbs_data.
[3/3] makes the initialization and cleanup of struct cpu_dbs_info more
      symmetrical.

Patches are on top of my bleeding-edge branch (and there is a separate
pm-cpufreq-test branch with cpufreq patches only in case someone wants/needs
to test those alone).

Thanks,
Rafael
