My original thought is as below. Since '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost'
can be used to set boost for the system. The file 'cpb' below each policy can be
used to set boost for the policy. But this will change the existing logic.

Is it better to set 'boost_enabled' after set boost successfully rather than
setting it in the begining and resetting it if setting boost failed.
