If we are getting values with some variations from policy->cur and we
can sure that the every "intended" frequency is already included in
the freq_table[] array, why don't we simply do rounding based on the
freq_table[]? (choosing the closest value from the table)

Besides, your proposal may incur bugs in my system (look at the first
two values):

mzx@hisui:~/test$ cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
3401000 3400000 3200000 3000000 2800000 2600000 2400000 2200000
2000000 1800000 1600000
mzx@hisui:~/test$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
