/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies gives
the list of frequencies based on the state of the boost feature at anytime.

Intuitively the list without boost shouldn't have any frequency above the range
when it's enabled :), that's what I was referring to. So I am not talking about
any issue with user-space maintenance.
