      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
      
       - Revert two cpuidle commits added during the 3.8 development cycle
         that turn out to have introduced a significant performance regression
         as requested by Jeremy Eder.
      
       - The recent patches that made the freezer less heavy-weight introduced
         a regression causing user-space-driven hibernation using the ioctl()
         interface to block indefinitely when the hibernate process executes
         try_to_freeze().  Fix from Colin Cross addresses this by adding a
         process flag to mark the hibernate/suspend process to inform the
         freezer that that process should be ignored.
      
       - One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core
         causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after a
         system suspend-resume cycle.  Fix from Rafael J Wysocki.
      
       - The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked
         correctly, because the commit that added support for it forgot to
         take the "Revision" field in the return package into account.  As a
         result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some
         systems, which is addressed by a fix from Lan Tianyu.
