I don't find acpi-cpufreq.txt under
Documentation/cpu-freq/acpi-cpufreq.txt. So I should create it?

Please see the acpi_processor_preregister_performance() in the
drivers/acpi/processor_perlib.c. All cpus in the same dependency domain
are stored in the perf->shared_cpu_map(including the reference cpu the
perf belongs to). Original code will copy shared_cpu_map to
policy->related_cpus, do cpumask_or between policy->related_cpus and
policy->cpus in the cpufreq_add_dev() and store the result into
policy->related_cpus. Expose the data via related_cpus.

For acpi-cpufreq driver, the shared_cpu_map is the biggest subset since
it regardless the coordination type.

After the commit aa77a5, only the cpus in the software or
software&hardware coordination type dependency domain will copy to
policy->cpus and finally store into policy->related_cpus in the
cpufreq_add_dev() by cpumask_or. And then we miss the cpus in the
hardware coordination type domain. But these info is still stored in the
policy->shared_cpu_map. Does this make sense?
