Note that you can slightly compress the data structure if you do
something like:

	struct rq {

		int active_clamp[2];

		struct uclamp_group {
			int value;
			int task;
		} [COUNT + 1][2]; // XXX check array order of C
	};

It also avoids the active values being split over 2 lines; and we need
those values every time, even if there are no active clamp tasks on the
system.
