Most of this function is not ARM specific, so it would be nice if we
could shrink the arch specific part down to just this match. A default
match of reg == logical cpu number might be useful.

The powermac cpufreq driver could probably also be converted
(arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/cpufreq_64.c).

Other than that, this series looks good to me.
