Users with dual/quad core systems can currently set individual cores to
have different governors (and drivers!), which doesn't really make a lot
of sense.

I'm thinking of changing things so scaling_governor file for the 2nd/3rd/4th etc
cores is a symlink to the same file in cpu0/
So a write to one file will automatically set things on all related cores within
the same package.

For completeness we could also symlink related_cpus and driver.

thoughts ?
