cpufreq: intellidemand: Set MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER to 20

Currently MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER is set defined as 100 and so on a system with
transition latency of 1 ms, the minimum sampling time comes to be around 100 ms.
That is quite big if you want to get better performance for your system.

Redefine MIN_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER to 20 so that we can support 20ms sampling rate
for such platforms.

overall_stats: add overall stats for all available cores

this is much more accurate stats tracking than just displaying core 0's
stats from most other kernels

block: cgroups, kconfig, build bits for BFQ-v6-3.4

Update Kconfig.iosched and do the related Makefile changes to include
kernel configuration options for BFQ. Also add the bfqio controller
to the cgroups subsystem.

block: introduce the BFQ-v6 I/O sched for 3.4

Add the BFQ-v6 I/O scheduler to 3.4.
The general structure is borrowed from CFQ, as much code. A (bfq_)queue is
associated to each task doing I/O on a device, and each time a scheduling
decision has to be made a queue is selected and served until it expires.

    - Slices are given in the service domain: tasks are assigned budgets,
      measured in number of sectors. Once got the disk, a task must
      however consume its assigned budget within a configurable maximum time
      (by default, the maximum possible value of the budgets is automatically
      computed to comply with this timeout). This allows the desired latency
      vs "throughput boosting" tradeoff to be set.

    - Budgets are scheduled according to a variant of WF2Q+, implemented
      using an augmented rb-tree to take eligibility into account while
      preserving an O(log N) overall complexity.

    - A low-latency tunable is provided; if enabled, both interactive and soft
      real-time applications are guaranteed very low latency.

    - Latency guarantees are preserved also in presence of NCQ.

    - Also with flash-based devices, a high throughput is achieved while
      still preserving latency guarantees.

    - A useful feature borrowed from CFQ: static fallback queue for OOM.

    - Differently from CFQ, BFQ uses a unified mechanism (Early Queue Merge,
      EQM) to get a sequential read pattern, and hence a high throughput,
      with any set of processes performing interleaved I/O. EQM also
      preserves low latency. The code for detecting whether two queues have
      to be merged is a slightly modified version of the CFQ code for
      detecting whether two queues belong to cooperating processes and whether
      the service of a queue should be preempted to boost the throughput.

    - BFQ supports full hierarchical scheduling, exporting a cgroups
      interface.  Each node has a full scheduler, so each group can
      be assigned its own ioprio (mapped to a weight, see next point)
      and an ioprio_class.

    - If the cgroups interface is used, weights can be explictly assigned,
      otherwise ioprio values are mapped to weights using the relation
      weight = IOPRIO_BE_NR - ioprio.

    - ioprio classes are served in strict priority order, i.e., lower
      priority queues are not served as long as there are higher priority
      queues.  Among queues in the same class the bandwidth is distributed
      in proportion to the weight of each queue. A very thin extra bandwidth
      is however guaranteed to the Idle class, to prevent it from starving.
