Alan Stern b4dfdbb3c7 [PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCU
This patch (as762) changes the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list from a
blocking_notifier_head to an srcu_notifier_head.  This will prevent errors
caused attempting to call down_read() to access the notifier chain at a
time when interrupts must remain disabled, during system suspend.

It's not clear to me whether this is really necessary; perhaps the chain
could be made into an atomic_notifier.  However a couple of the callout
routines do use blocking operations, so this approach seems safer.

The head of the notifier chain needs to be initialized before use; this is
done by an __init routine at core_initcall time.  If this turns out not to
be a good choice, it can easily be changed.
