[PATCH] cpupower : Fix cpupower working when cpu0 is offline

[PATCH] cpupower : Fix cpupower working when cpu0 is offline

[Abhishek Goel]

cpuidle_monitor used to assume that cpu0 is always online. Now the
cpuidle_monitor function searches for the first online cpu and use
it, instead of always using cpu0 which maynot be online.

On what platform is this assumption not valid and what is the problem
caused due to this.

Mention that this is the fix performed by this patch.

Don't we have an API that gives the list by parsing
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/online" ?

Looks ok to me otherwise.
