Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: powernv: Define per_cpu chip pointer to optimize hot-path

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@...ling.org>

"cpufreq: powernv: Remove cpu_to_chip_id() from hot-path" introduced
'core_to_chip_map' array to cache the chip-id of all cores. Replace
this with per_cpu variable that stores the pointer to the chip-array.
This removes the linear lookup and provides a neater and simpler
solution.

---

- Rebased the patch on top of linux-pm/linux-next
- nr_chips is defined static, so it will be initialized to zero
- Moved the initialization of the per_cpu variable after 'chips' is
  allocated
- Removed 'core_to_chip_map'
