If you're carrying the dependancy, it sounds like it would make more sense
for you to carry this too. There are some changes to the Kconfig/Makefile
in drivers/cpufreq in my tree for 3.1 already, so you might get a collision
when both trees end up in next & subsequently Linus' tree. Just trivial changes though.

So far we haven't bothered with additional subarch drivers/ directories for x86/arm.
I'm not against the idea. As more archs move over, I could see drivers/cpufreq/
getting more cluttered.
