Well, its bound to get more 'interesting' since I forse implementations
not always actually doing the invariant thing.

Take for example the thing I send:

  lkml.kernel.org/r/20160303162829.GB6375@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

it both shows why you cannot talk about current_freq but also that the
above needs a little more help (for the !X86_FEATURE_APERFMPERF case).

But the !arch_scale_freq_capacity case should indeed be that simple.
