So I've just added this to bleeding-edge, but I have a couple complaints.

First off, this is three patch sets in one.  The first part is the generic
.attr(), exit() and .verify() one, the second part is the duplicated
initialization and the third one is about cpufreq_generic_init().  They
really should have been posted and reviewed separately.

And while I'm basically OK with the first and the third part, I'm concerned
about the second one, because it has potential to introduce some subtle
initialization issues (initializing something twice is not a bug per se,
although it is inefficient, but failing to initialize that or initializing it
with an incorrect value *is* a bug).

Second, can you please make your own patch sets apply on top of each other
next time?

Besides, I'm not going to apply any patchset with more than 40 patches in it
in one go any more unless I'm seriously convinced that this is the only way
to go.

Thanks!
