Yeah - and that build bug was stupid too - when touching a generic file
that is called include/linux/cpufreq.h and changing a key data field one
should at minimum get the idea that it's generic for a reason and should
start grepping the tree ...
It slipped through because it didnt get caught in build tests because
cpufreq isnt enabled in the powerpc defconfig.
