Subject: [RFC PATCH 03/10] cpufreq: Architecture specific callback for frequency changes

From: Morten Rasmussen <Morten.Rasmussen@....com>

Architectures that don't have any other means for tracking cpu frequency
changes need a callback from cpufreq to implement a scaling factor to
enable scale-invariant per-entity load-tracking in the scheduler.

To compute the scale invariance correction factor the architecture would
need to know both the max frequency and the current frequency. This
patch defines weak functions for setting both from cpufreq.

Related architecture specific functions use weak function definitions.
The same approach is followed here.

These callbacks can be used to implement frequency scaling of cpu
capacity later.
