thanks for taking care of that. Overall I like the changes in this patch
but it hard to review in details because the patch is too big :/

Could you split this patch into smaller ones?

eg. (at your convenience)

- One patch renaming s/cap/perf/

- One patch adding a new function:

em_dev_register_perf_domain(struct device *dev,
unsigned int nr_states,
struct em_data_callback *cb);

(+ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL)

And em_register_perf_domain() using it.

- One converting the em_register_perf_domain() user to
em_dev_register_perf_domain

- One adding the different new 'em' functions

- And finally one removing em_register_perf_domain().

Isn't possible to get rid of this cpumask by using
cpufreq_cpu_get() which returns the cpufreq's policy and from their get
the related cpus ?
