And here is the first abuser of this API as I was talking about in the
earlier patch :)

But, I know why you are doing it and I think we can do it differently.

So, lets assume that the ->resolve_freq() callback will ONLY be
provided by the drivers which also provide a ->target() callback.

i.e. not by acpi-cpufreq at least.

This could have been an integer value 'Index', which could have been
used together with the freq-table to get the freq we wanted.

And, then we can move these two fields into the cpufreq_policy
structure and make them part of the first patch itself.

And then we could remove this callback from acpi-cpufreq.

And a static inline callback in cpufreq.h to get this entry.

Sounds reasonable ?
