Nathan,

First of all I should accept that I didn't had your last patch while
reviewing this
one earlier. Thanks Rafael.

Now, I believe the previous patch which Rafael has pushed was good and we
can simply keep it. What you can do is, just add a patch over it (which would
mostly be 1/2 of your patchset), that simply separates rcu stuff out of the lock
and leave lock for cpufreq_data..
