Hmm, in that case why should we take this thread? I mean, if we do need
to add/remove sysfs links or move kobjects around, what would we achieve
with this patchset?

Proper styles please.

Why?

Why check for sif?

Move all this to cpufreq_add_policy_cpu()..

Don't know why we moved it here.. cpufreq_add_dev will only be called for
online CPUs..

This has_symlink thing has made it much more complicated..
