On MSM, cpus independently scale both frequency and voltage.  Our clock
driver isn't upstream yet.  David Brown has a preliminary version here:

https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/kernel/?p=davidb/linux-msm.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/msm-clock-rfc

Once we get our driver upstream, MSM will be an exception and not select
ARM_GENERIC_CPUFREQ.  We'll probably have a separate msm-cpufreq.c
driver under drivers/cpufreq/.
