This patch adds IKS (In Kernel Switcher) support to cpufreq driver.
This creates a combined freq table for A7-A15 CPU pairs. A7 frequencies
are virtualized and scaled down to half the actual frequencies to
approximate a linear scale across the combined A7+A15 range. When the
requested frequency change crosses the A7-A15 boundary a cluster switch
is invoked.
Based on earlier work from Sudeep KarkadaNagesha.

The cpu_to_cluster() function may be used by glue drivers, so it's
better to keep it in arm_big_little.h.

big LITTLE is ARM's new Architecture focussing power/performance needs of modern
world. More information about big LITTLE can be found here:

In order to keep cpufreq support for all big LITTLE platforms simple/generic,
this patch tries to add a generic cpufreq driver layer for all big LITTLE
platforms.
The driver is divided into two parts:
- Core driver: Generic and shared across all big LITTLE SoC's
- Glue drivers: Per platform drivers providing ops to the core driver
This patch adds in a generic glue driver which would extract information from
Device Tree.
Future SoC's can either reuse the DT glue or write their own depending on the
need.
