This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware
device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things:
- Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may
exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now
simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in
/proc with random result...
- Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit
address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was
buggy and didn't always work anyway.
- Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a
node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of
the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching
dentry and inode cache bloat.
This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more
accurate view of the tree presented to userland.

Apple's Open Firmware has a funny bug when creating the /cpus nodes
where it leaves a dangling '\0' character in the CPU name which ends up
appearing in the full path of the node. This is bogus and
confuses /proc/device-tree badly.
This patch strips those bogus zero's from the node full path when
reading the device-tree from Open Firmware. The "name" property is not
modified and still contains the spurrious 0 (it basically contains 0
tailing 0 instead of one) but that shouldn't be a problem.
An equivalent patch for ppc32 will follow shortly

entry->proc_fops is a pointer to struct file_operations. When we
call create_proc_entry(...), it pointis to proc_file_operations,
deep in fs/proc/generic.c. By adding a 'poll' member to this struct
we effectively force the 'poll' member on every file in /proc,
which is wrong (they all fail select(...) calls).
This patch changes a copy of entry->proc_fops and reassigns it rather
than changing the original member.

uinput_alloc_device() is supposed to return the number of bytes read,
the value is returned to uinput_write() and from there to userspace. If
EV_ABS is set then it returns the value from uinput_validate_absbits()
instead, which is zero when everything is ok instead of the count.

[PATCH] [4/5] ondemand governor automatic downscaling
Here is a change of policy for the ondemand governor. The modification
concerns the frequency downscaling. Instead of decreasing to a lower
frequency when the CPU usage is under 20%, this new policy automatically
scales to the optimal frequency. The optimal frequency being the lowest
frequency which provides enough power to not trigger the upscaling policy.

A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
just posted. This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
rather than flip between the min and max freq's.
N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
(200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.

Also, some BIOS will change the processor frequency at our back after cpu_khz
