Some arguments would be appreciated.
These never were cpu based from the beginning since these governors
exist.
These variables were removed and put into general sysfs dir because:
- They never were per_cpu based
- No need was seen to make them per cpu based ones
- We should be able to get rid of an ugly lock
I could imagine someone wants to increase min_freq on specific cores,
e.g. for real time/low latency and that is possible.
But making these ondemand/conservative variables per cpu based is IMO
overdesigned.
