Its okay.

Looks good.

How will these two call dbs_check_cpu()? We don't have a timer for
those two governors :)

Okay do one thing. Create debugfs and debug/cpufreq/cpuX directory always.
Let load_table contain zero when we have irrelevant governors set for it.

We will see if we want some smart code in place for this or not.
