Ok. How about add new field "cpufreqdomain_cpus" in the  struct
acpi_cpufreq_data and expose its value for new attribute. For normal
case, copy the shared_cpu_map to it for normal case. For AMD case, copy
sibling_cpus to it.
   Another choice, just keeping what my patch has done. Wait for the new
request since current patch can satisfy reporter and it's not clear
whether the patch is enough for AMD platform.(At last from my view).
