Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: Add exit_prepare callback to cpufreq_driver interface

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@...el.com>

This callback allows the driver to do clean up before the CPU is
completely down and its state cannot be modified.  This is used
by the intel_pstate driver to reduce the requested P state prior to
the core going away.  This is required because the requested P state
of the offline core is used to select the package P state. This
effectively sets the floor package P state to the requested P state on
the offline core.
