People may want to use different group/cluster/socket of CPUs differently,
with different kind of policies. Maybe performance governor for boot cpu
and ondemand for others.

This bug would also be there for big LITTLE where we want to have
separate set of tunables for big and LITTLE clusters for the same type
of governor.

Probably yes, I saw something similar somewhere.. But this is driver
independent..

We wouldn't need this patch if my other patch (where I am disabling
governors in suspend/resume goes in, in any form)..
