Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of
  them fix bugs introduced during this merge window.

  Specifics:

   1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events

      After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting
      breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications
      during boot for non-existing devices.  Although those
      notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with
      them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead.
      Four commits to make that work properly.

   2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework

      This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
      ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
      hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
      time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
      acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
      which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.

   3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix

      The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
      Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
      of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the
      information expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for
      stable.

   4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation

      AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
      executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).
      From Bob Moore.

   5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup

      There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
      object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one
      that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take
      more criteria into account in those cases.

   6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases

      If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
      some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
      pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.

   7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug

      Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with
      cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of
      fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.

   8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute

      Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
      read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
      won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.
      Fix from Andreas Schwab.

   9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit

      Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
      serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency
      problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but
      unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I
      decided to revert it now and address the original problems later
      in a more robust way.

  10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.

  11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume

      The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs
      attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL
      pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second
      attempt to suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that
      problem and a couple of related issues.

  12) cpufreq locking fix

      cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
      it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu"
