this seems to be a problem that we have not covered yet.

when loading/unloading the cpufreq policy, the cpufreq_frequency_table
will be changed as well, right?
what if we want to use p4 for trip point 2, and then there are only two
valid entries after reloading cpufreq policy?

To me, the real thing we missed here is a mechanism for dynamic
binding. 

thanks,
