Arjan van de Ven 19379b1181 ondemand: Make the iowait-is-busy time a sysfs tunable
Pavel Machek pointed out that not all CPUs have an efficient
idle at high frequency. Specifically, older Intel and various
AMD cpus would get a higher powerusage when copying files from
USB.

Mike Chan pointed out that the same is true for various ARM
chips as well.

Thomas Renninger suggested to make this a sysfs tunable with a
reasonable default.

This patch adds a sysfs tunable for the new behavior, and uses
a very simple function to determine a reasonable default,
depending on the CPU vendor/type.
