I was waiting for the dust to settle before spending a significant
amount of time reviewing. I have to admit, the two patchsets thing
did confuse me too. (Though I've also been swamped with bugs since
I got back from OLS, so I've appreciated the breathing room :)

If we're arriving any closer to consensus on whats mergable from the
cpufreq side, and what needs more input, I'll find the time to review
soon, but there still seems to be ongoing discussion which is why I
decided to leave it sort itself out :)

Sadly powerop is but a tiny piece of the puzzle.
