I believe that that's how it's supposed to be defined for Intel systems, 
but you're right that this doesn't belong in generic code. AMD have 
support for enabling/disabling their equivalent functionality through 
sysfs - I'd say that copying that interface and using it to limit the 
set of p-states provided to the core makes more sense.
