Looked at this a bit more from acpi cpufreq angle.

But, I feel the patch that Johannes had here
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0906.2/00335.html
is the right fix as we do the same saving and restoring of flags on SMP
when cpu==this_cpu. This change will make code in UP same as that in SMP
with 1 CPU active.

We can avoid the driver->get call from cpufreq_suspend for the drivers
that do not do any freq changes in their suspend methods. But, then we
will hit this same problem in cpufreq_resume() path and there we do want
to check for adjust_jiffies for all drivers as long as CONSTANT_LOOPS is
not set.

Thanks,
Venki
