The callbacks make use of get_cpu_device() which will return NULL unless register_cpu() has been called. register_cpu() is called from topology_init(), which is also a subsys_initcall(). This is fragile. Moving the register_cpu() to a different subsys_initcall() leads to a NULL dereference during boot. Make intel_epb_init() a late_initcall(), user-space can't provide a policy before this point anyway.
