Hi Duncan,

Please reply to this mail rather than using bugzilla as all others might not
be following bugzilla rerport.

The way it works (in cpufreq core), the first cpu of group registered
for cpufreq
would get a directory and second one would get a symlink.

And the above ones also doesn't look good. 2/5 and 3/4 shouldn't be the groups.

acpi-cpufreq driver is getting this information from perf->shared_cpu_map and
that seems to be wrong to me now.

2/4 and 3/5 are also wrong groups.

One thing i am sure about is cpu order is fixed at boot and after boot whatever
you do can't change that order... So order should always be 0/1, 2/3, 4/5

Hmm.. Can you try one thing? Run 3.8 over your machine and give output of
cpufreq-info and ls -ld after boot and resume..

I would like to see what's the original behavior.
