So, I've updated my perf/env branch with routines to do that, that uses
infrastructure to read files from virtual dirs that was there plus a few
I just introduced, in the same vein, I will update your patches to use
them and put there as well, for your consideration.

The HEAD there is the one below:

commit 2bc1fae4ed8a842f52dc374449d37c3ec1fa1986

tools lib cpu: Introduce cpu.[ch] to read sysfs cpu related information

E.g.:

$ ./cpu__get_max_freq
3200000

It does that, as Kan's patch does, by looking at these files:

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
0-3
$ ./sysfs__read_ull
devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq=3200000
$

I.e. find out the first online CPU, then read its cpufreq info.

But do it in tools/lib/api/, so that other tools living code can use
it, not just perf.
