powerpc/cell/cpufreq: add spu aware cpufreq governor

From: Christian Krafft <krafft at de.ibm.com>

This patch adds a cpufreq governor that takes the number of running spus
into account. It's very similar to the ondemand governor, but not as complex.
Instead of hacking spu load into the ondemand governor it might be easier to
have cpufreq accepting multiple governors per cpu in future.
Don't know if this is the right way, but it would keep the governors simple.

Dave or other cpufreq people, can you take a look at this
and add an Acked-by when you're happy?

We have one prerequisite patch in the powerpc code (in spufs),
so should it get merged through powerpc.git?
