CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME elimination for 3.19-rc1

This removes the last few uses of CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME introduced
recently and makes that config option finally go away.

CONFIG_PM will be available directly from the menu now and
also it will be selected automatically if CONFIG_SUSPEND or
CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set.

More ACPI and power management updates for 3.19-rc1

 - Fix a regression in leds-gpio introduced by a recent commit that
   inadvertently changed the name of one of the properties used by
   the driver (Fabio Estevam).

 - Fix a regression in the ACPI backlight driver introduced by a
   recent fix that missed one special case that had to be taken
   into account (Aaron Lu).

 - Drop the level of some new kernel messages from the ACPI core
   introduced by a recent commit to KERN_DEBUG which they should
   have used from the start and drop some other unuseful KERN_ERR
   messages printed by ACPI (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Revert an incorrect commit modifying the cpupower tool
   (Prarit Bhargava).

 - Fix two regressions introduced by recent commits in the OPP
   library and clean up some existing minor issues in that code
   (Viresh Kumar).

 - Continue to replace CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME with CONFIG_PM throughout
   the tree (or drop it where that can be done) in order to make
   it possible to eliminate CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME (Rafael J Wysocki,
   Ulf Hansson, Ludovic Desroches).  There will be one more
   "CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME removal" batch after this one, because some
   new uses of it have been introduced during the current merge
   window, but that should be sufficient to finally get rid of it.

 - Make the ACPI EC driver more robust against race conditions
   related to GPE handler installation failures (Lv Zheng).

 - Prevent the ACPI device PM core code from attempting to
   disable GPEs that it has not enabled which confuses ACPICA
   and makes it report errors unnecessarily (Rafael J Wysocki).

 - Add a "force" command line switch to the intel_pstate driver
   to make it possible to override the blacklisting of some
   systems in that driver if needed (Ethan Zhao).

 - Improve intel_pstate code documentation and add a MAINTAINERS
   entry for it (Kristen Carlson Accardi).

 - Make the ACPI fan driver create cooling device interfaces
   witn names that reflect the IDs of the ACPI device objects
   they are associated with, except for "generic" ACPI fans
   (PNP ID "PNP0C0B").  That's necessary for user space thermal
   management tools to be able to connect the fans with the
   parts of the system they are supposed to be cooling properly.

sound fixes for 3.19-rc1

Here are a few fixes that have landed after the previous pull
request.  All are driver specific fixes including:
- error/int value fixes in OXFW,
- Intel Skylake HD-audio HDMI codec support,
- Additional HD-audio Realtek codecs and AD1986A codec fixes/quirks,
- a few more DSD support and a quirk for Arcam rPAC in usb-audio,
- a typo fix for Scarlett 6i6,
- fixes for new ASIHPI firmware,
- ASoC Exynos7 cleanups,
- Intel ACPI support, and
- a fix for PCM512 register cache sync.

This relatively large collection of fixes is all over - from things
that were broken a long time ago (the management key issue) but not
noticed yet, to small issues that were only introduced into 3.19
(like the multicast issue). At least one issue is old but can crash
the kernel based on invalid userspace requests (the nl80211 matches
array one.)

media updates for v3.19-rc1

Linaro 14.12

3.19 changes for KVM:
- spring cleaning: removed support for IA64, and for hardware-assisted
virtualization on the PPC970
- ARM, PPC, s390 all had only small fixes

For x86:
- small performance improvements (though only on weird guests)
- usual round of hardware-compliancy fixes from Nadav
- APICv fixes
- XSAVES support for hosts and guests.  XSAVES hosts were broken because
the (non-KVM) XSAVES patches inadvertently changed the KVM userspace
ABI whenever XSAVES was enabled; hence, this part is going to stable.
Guest support is just a matter of exposing the feature and CPUID leaves
support.

Right now KVM is broken for PPC BookE in your tree (doesn't compile).
I'll reply to the pull request with a patch, please apply it either
before the pull request or in the merge commit, in order to preserve
bisectability somewhat.

ASoC: Merge window fixes for v3.19

A smattering of driver specific fixes here, some more cleanup of the
Exynos7 and Intel ACPI support plus a fix for register cache sync on the
pcm512x driver which has been lurking for a while.

This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.19 series:

- A new API that allows setting more than one GPIO at the
  time. This is implemented for the new descriptor-based
  API only and makes it possible to e.g. toggle a clock and
  data line at the same time, if the hardware can do this
  with a single register write. Both consumers and drivers
  need new calls, and the core will fall back to driving
  individual lines where needed. Implemented for the MPC8xxx
  driver initially.
- Patched the mdio-mux-gpio and the serial mctrl driver
  that drives modems to use the new multiple-setting API
  to set several signals simultaneously.
- Get rid of the global GPIO descriptor array, and instead
  allocate descriptors dynamically for each GPIO on a certain
  GPIO chip. This moves us closer to getting rid of the
  limitation of using the global, static GPIO numberspace.
- New driver and device tree bindings for 74xx ICs.
- New driver and device tree bindings for the VF610 Vybrid.
- Support the RCAR r8a7793 and r8a7794.
- Guidelines for GPIO device tree bindings trying to get
  things a bit more strict with the advent of combined
  device properties.
- Suspend/resume support for the MVEBU driver.
- A slew of minor fixes and improvements.

This is the 3.2.65 stable release
