Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

Fix Philips UCB1400 driver to use sched_setscheduler() instead of setting

This patch adds module parameters for several timing values used
in the driver. These values can vary based on the hardware design
and how much capacitive filtering there is on the touch panel inputs,
and the resistance of the panel.

In preparation for struct class_device -> struct device input

specifying device position in sysfs tree.

The UCB1400 is missing a name parameter in the device_driver struct.
This causes missing information in the /sys tree and seems to cause
other problems with the AC97 functionality. This was tested on a PXA270
system.
