More ACPI and power management updates for 3.15-rc1

 - Remaining changes from upstream ACPICA release 20140214 that introduce
   code to automatically serialize the execution of methods creating any
   named objects which really cannot be executed in parallel with each
   other anyway (previously ACPICA attempted to address that by aborting
   methods upon conflict detection, but that wasn't reliable enough and
   led to other issues).  From Bob Moore and Lv Zheng.

 - intel_pstate fix to use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() in
   the exit path before freeing the timer structure from Dirk Brandewie
   (original patch from Thomas Gleixner).

 - cpufreq fix related to system resume from Viresh Kumar.

 - Serialization of frequency transitions in cpufreq that involve
   PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifications to avoid ordering issues
   resulting from race conditions.  From Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.

 - Revert of an ACPI processor driver change that was based on a specific
   interpretation of the ACPI spec which may not be correct (the relevant
   part of the spec appears to be incomplete).  From Hanjun Guo.

 - Runtime PM core cleanups and documentation updates from Geert Uytterhoeven.

 - PNP core cleanup from Michael Opdenacker.
