We currently do not use smt-snooze-delay in the kernel. The sysfs entries needs to be retained until we do a clean up ppc64_cpu util that uses these entries to determine SMT, clean up patch for this has already been posted out by Prerna. Once, we have the ppc64_cpu changes in, we can look to clean up these parts from the kernel.
We generally shouldn't change user visible interfaces. People still have old versions of ppc64_cpu, we must not break them Cheers, Ben.
