Considering that struct cpufreq_policy already has a turbo field,
and without seeing how the fields get initialized or used, I can't
really judge whether they're rightfully being added here. If you
want to keep them, please defer their addition to this structure
until the patch actually using them. (I wonder whether that
wouldn't be better for most/all of the other fields too.)

Same here - how should a reviewer of this patch judge whether
these fields make sens when they aren't being used anywhere?
I can somehow guess the meaning of the last field...
