When CPUs are physically added/removed, its cpuX sysfs directory is
dynamically added/removed. To handle this correctly, the cpufreq sysfs
nodes also need to be added/removed dynamically.
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?
