Hi Duncan,
My weekend is already spoiled (due to my bugs :) ) and i don't want to spoil
yours. But this is a important patch to test, can you please give it a
try as soon
as you can? And confirm if this resolves your issues or not? (patch is attached
too)

Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: acpi-cpufreq: Set policy->cpus correctly from .init()
With the addition of following patch:
fcf8058 cpufreq: Simplify cpufreq_add_dev()
cpufreq driver's .init() routine must initialize policy->cpus with mask of all
possible cpus (Online + Offline) that share the clock. Then the core would copy
this mask onto policy->related_cpus and will reset policy->cpus to carry only
online cpus.
acpi-cpufreq driver wasn't updated with this assumption and so sometimes when
we try to hot[un]plug cpus at run time, sysfs directories gets corrupted.
This patch fixes acpi-cpufreq driver against this corruption.
