Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux
Pull ACPI & power management update from Len Brown:
"Re-write of the turbostat tool.
lower overhead was necessary for measuring very large system when
they are very idle.
IVB support in intel_idle
It's what I run on my IVB, others should be able to also:-)
ACPICA core update
We have found some bugs due to divergence between Linux and the
upstream ACPICA base. Most of these patches are to reduce that
divergence to reduce the risk of future bugs.
Some cpuidle updates, mostly for non-Intel
More will be coming, as they depend on this part.
Some thermal management changes needed by non-ACPI systems.
Some _OST (OS Status Indication) updates for hot ACPI hot-plug."
