One small thing I noticed: in acpi_processor_ppc_init() "no limit" value
is set to INT_MAX and here it is set to FREQ_QOS_MAX_DEFAULT_VALUE. Both
should evaluate to the same value but I think it would be nice if the
same thing is used in both places. Perhaps you can fix that up when
applying?
Other than this,

Thanks for working on this.
