You're right. The performance/powersave don't usually need calling operation
of dbs_check_cpu(). Only, this patch aims at checking CPUs load on
load_table debugfs file.

I'm going to consider more efficient way than this patchset.
For example, 

But, following patctes haven't the dependency about upper description about performance/powersave.
If user changes cpufreq governor from ondemand/conservative to performance/powersave,
patch2 did reset all of the data for load_table.

  cpufreq: Add debugfs directory for cpufreq
  cpufreq: stats: Add 'load_table' debugfs file to show accumulated data of CPUs
  Documentation: cpufreq: load_table: Update load_table debugfs file documentation

So, I'd like you to review patch1,patch2, patch6. If you with that I resend patch1/2/6,
I will resend new patchset incluing in patch1/2/6.

Thanks,

Best Regards,
Chanwoo Choi
