Merge branch 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davej/cpufreq

* 'fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davej/cpufreq:
  [CPUFREQ] cpumask: new cpumask operators for arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/powernow-k8.c
  [CPUFREQ] cpumask: avoid playing with cpus_allowed in powernow-k8.c
  [CPUFREQ] cpumask: avoid cpumask games in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.c
  [CPUFREQ] cpumask: avoid playing with cpus_allowed in speedstep-ich.c
  [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: get drv data for correct CPU
  [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: read P-state from HW
  [CPUFREQ] reduce scope of ACPI_PSS_BIOS_BUG_MSG[]
  [CPUFREQ] Clean up convoluted code in arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c:time_cpufreq_notifier()
  [CPUFREQ] minor correction to cpu-freq documentation
  [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8.c: mess cleanup
  [CPUFREQ] Only set sampling_rate_max deprecated, sampling_rate_min is useful
  [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Set transition latency to 1 if ACPI tables export 0
  [CPUFREQ] ondemand: Uncouple minimal sampling rate from HZ in NO_HZ case
