That made me happy, i am not the only culprit :)

They were all separate directories (instead of symlinks) earlier because
this only depended on policy->cpus earlier. And none of the cpus are
shared in policy->cpus, i.e. policy->cpus was always policy->cpu.

No they are still not paired well. This is how we should read your analysis:
related-cpus: "same hardware freq"
affected-cpus or policy->cpus: "frequency coordinated by software"

related cpus have correct pairs

but affected cpus doesn't

I told you earlier, this made me happy :)

These stayed as is as cpu 0 is non removable cpu and so doesn't get
unregistered from cpufreq at all.

related cpus got corrupted here.

Now back to the real issues:
@Rafael/Borislav/Thomas/Andre/Darrick:
"What do we mean by software AND hardware coordination for x86 ?"
Following are the sha-id's which had something to do with above statement.

On the platform i work (ARM) there are only two cases, cpus share clock line or
they don't. So, they share policy struct or they don't.
Fixing Duncan's issues shouldn't be a very big deal now as i was thinking too
much about what was broken without my patches too. And now that part is
pretty clear.
