Drivers supporting multiple clusters or multiple 'struct cpufreq_policy'
instances may need to keep some per-policy data. If the core doesn't support
them, they might do it in the most unoptimized way: per-cpu data.
This patch adds another field in 'struct cpufreq_policy': driver_data. It isn't
accessed by core and is completely for driver's internal use.
