My patch was wrong.. It was based on the assumption that everybody who
had implemented a .target() also implements a frequency table and exposes
it.. And the generic routines I have exposed depend on that frequency table.
And this cpufreq driver doesn't expose that freq table...

And so this patch is dropped :(
