Yes, you need to change acpi-cpufreq driver too to use this common infrastructure.

This is surely per policy as two separate clusters can have separate values. And probably a better one would be scaling_boost_frequencies, that will list all boost frequencies.

I am confused with these two names: boost and turbo.. Probably we should use a single name everywhere. Because acpi-cpufreq is already using boost, we might shift to that.

Obviously this one.

For now this feature would be enabled on all clusters and controlled by cpu/cpufreq/boost.

Bingo!!
