[RFC PATCH 7/8] arm: add sysfs cpu_capacity attribute

Add a sysfs cpu_capacity attribute with which it is possible to read and
write (thus over-writing default values) CPUs capacity. This might be
useful in situation where there is no way to get proper default values
at boot time.

The new attribute shows up as:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpu_capacity
