Please make sure you take care of these issues:
- suspend/resume
- hotplug
- module insert/remove
Ok, I was just at the current code. Does cpufreq_unregister_driver() even
really work correctly as it stands?

It doesn't even seem to stop any of the governors/policies before it just
set the cpufreq_driver pointer to NULL.

So, technically my v2 patch doesn't even make anything worse when it comes
to unregistering the cpufreq driver.
Are you really sure about this? I have tested this *myself* earlier..

subsys_interface_unregister() should take care of stopping/freeing governor
stuff..
I was asking this question based on looking at the code. Didn't actually 
try it -- sent it just before being done for the day. I didn't know 
about the subsys_interface_unregister() coming into play here. I'll take 
a look.

Thanks for the pointer.
