Oh yeah, this works better. I forgot kobject has a separate init and add 
fuctions.

Another out of patch issue that I see while reviewing this patch:

I think the existing error handling gotos aren't really cleaning things 
up well.

In the lines that follow this code we set the per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data) 
to point to the new policy. But if the subsequent cpu->get() fails, we 
goto out_exit_policy. But that label doesn't clean up the 
per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data). So, I think we need another label to jump to 
if ->get() fails
