[linux-pm] [RFC] PowerOP Take 3, sysfs UI core 2/5

If they're defined dynamically, you can change them without recompiling
the system, building a new rootfs image, etc. This is especially useful
during development and tuning of systems built on new hardware, since
the set of Ops available (that is, that are documented by the chip
vendor to work) can vary over time and even board-to-board.

Makes some sense.  But I'm still puzzled why _creating_ an operating
point would be done outside of the arch/.../board-xx.c file.
