Guys in the --to list:

Please shout before its too late...

I can understand why Stephen is asking not to implement a virtual clock
driver for cpu as there is no clock corresponding to that.. We are just playing
with existing clocks there..

But I thought these clock APIs can be considered as hooks that we were
looking for and so shouldn't be a problem..

But yes, different people see things differently..

So, if I take Stephen's suggestions then I need to implement hooks into
cpufreq-cpu0 driver for taking freq-table/ setting clk rates, etc...

Let me know if anybody has a issue with that before we actually implement
that..
