H A Dcpufreq.hdiff e8628dd06d66f2e3965ec9742029b401d63434f1 Fri Apr 18 15:31:12 CDT 2008 Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> [CPUFREQ] expose cpufreq coordination requirements regardless of coordination mechanism

Currently, affected_cpus shows which CPUs need to have their frequency
coordinated in software. When hardware coordination is in use, the contents
of this file appear the same as when no coordination is required. This can
lead to some confusion among user-space programs, for example, that do not
know that extra coordination is required to force a CPU core to a particular
speed to control power consumption.

To fix this, create a "related_cpus" attribute that always displays the
coordination map regardless of whatever coordination strategy the cpufreq
driver uses (sw or hw). If the cpufreq driver does not provide a value, fall
back to policy->cpus.
