  cpufreq: Add module aliases for acpi-cpufreq

on top of commit 7d1f9aeff1ee4a20b1aeb377dd0f579fe9647619

  Linux 3.8-rc4

Included are:

* Two cpuidle initialization fixes (both -stable material) from
  Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.

* cpufreq regression fixes for AMD processors, mostly related to the change
  of the default driver for newer CPUs from powernow-k8 to acpi-cpufreq.
  From Borislav Petkov, Stefan Bader, Matthew Garrett.

* ACPI cpufreq fix related to system reconfigurations such as the switch
  from battery to AC power from Thomas Schlichter (-stable material).

* cpufreq and devfreq fixes related to incorrect usage of operating
  performance points (OPP) framework and RCU from Nishanth Menon
  (-stable material).

* APEI workaround for incorrect BIOS information from Lans Zhang.

Thanks!
