Re: [patch] cpufreq: mark cpufreq_tsc() as core_initcall_sync

Paul:

Here's my version of your patch from yesterday.  It's basically the same, 
but I cleaned up the code in a few places and fixed a bug (the sign of idx 
in srcu_read_unlock).  Also I changed the init routine back to void, since 
it's no longer an error if the per-cpu allocation fails.

More importantly, I added a static initializer and included the fast-path 
in synchronize_srcu.  It's protected by the new symbol 
SMP__STORE_MB_LOAD_WORKS, which should be defined in arch-specific headers 
for those architectures where the store-mb-load pattern is safe.
