Ah, so I started these hooks way before the cpufreq/cpuidle etc.
integration push.

Maybe we should look at something like that, but performance is really
critical, you most definitely do not want 3 indirections just because
abstract framework crap, that's measurable overhead on these callsites.

Hence the current inline with constant value or single function call.
And if archs would want a selector, I would recommend boot time call
instruction rewrites a-la alternatives/paravirt.
