 /*
- * cpu_policy_rwsem is a per CPU reader-writer semaphore designed to cure
- * all cpufreq/hotplug/workqueue/etc related lock issues.
- *
- * The rules for this semaphore:
- * - Any routine that wants to read from the policy structure will
- *   do a down_read on this semaphore.
- * - Any routine that will write to the policy structure and/or may take away
- *   the policy altogether (eg. CPU hotplug), will hold this lock in write
- *   mode before doing so.
- *
- * Additional rules:
- * - Governor routines that can be called in cpufreq hotplug path should not
- *   take this sem as top level hotplug notifier handler takes this.
- * - Lock should not be held across
- *     __cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
