I went through your very first version and I also like the string to
int conversion very much.
I wanted to move the polling from acpi/thermal.c to the new thermal
layer to have the thermal polling in the architecture independent part
and started on top of your first version, but I got stuck and run out of time,
otherwise I'd also sent this.

Looks like you forgot the menlow driver again which also makes use of this:

grep get_max_state drivers/misc/intel_menlow.c
.get_max_state = memory_get_max_bandwidth,

It would be great to see the conversion in .28.
