Subject:
 [RFC][PATCH v0.3 2/6] cpufreq/sched: Move cpufreq-specific EAS checks to
 cpufreq

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

Doing cpufreq-specific EAS checks that require accessing policy
internals directly from sched_is_eas_possible() is a bit unfortunate,
so introduce cpufreq_ready_for_eas() in cpufreq, move those checks
into that new function and make sched_is_eas_possible() call it.
