When it's committed it won't be a patch.  How about instead "A specific 
amd-pstate CPU boost control method is to be introduced and the legacy 
callback doesn't make sense" or something along those lines.

Also; is the ordering correct?  In terms of bisectability should this 
come after the new one is introduced perhaps?
