I don't want to search in the Archives but I am sure what we decided
earlier.

Rafael Said:
"Simple: Export it only when supported."

AND

"Don't change behavior of acpi-cpufreq driver"

If you see acpi-cpufreq driver carefully, it always creates "boost"
sysfs entry. If its not supported then it creates a read only entry.

So, please preserve that.
