I am attaching a patch by Thomas Gleixner which adds a kernel

you please integrate this in your tree for the next Linaro release?
I've been using this patch for sometime now and it doesn't introduce
any regressions. There is a possibility that this patch will make it
upstream via the RT patches in the near future but in the meanwhile,
we'd like to carry this patch as well.
Hi Punit,
I agree with you that many of us would be interested in using this patch,
but i am not sure about which tree should it land into?
@Andrey/Tixy: Any other better tree you can suggest for carrying this one?
Or is my tree the best place :)
It's not really anything to do with vexpress enablement and I don't
believe it's Andrey's job to maintain patches, but I assume it's not
strictly related to big.LITTLE MP either. So I guess I'm saying that it
wants someone who agrees the patch is good to have to volunteer to
maintain it and create/find a suitable topic branch for inclusion into
llct.
But if someone called Viresh thought the patch looked useful for people
testing or experimenting with power management, and wasn't too worried
about it being the thin end of the wedge, then he might just take the
simplest approach and add it to his big.LITTLE MP branch ;-)

Me to maintain patches is not the best option at all, as often I have
very little idea of what the patch is doing. (Though I have to do that
in very rare cases, and right now I have another patch floating around
with no one willing to maintain it as it seems :( )
Thanks,
Andrey
