IIUC, this will enable switcher code by default. I am not sure if this
is intentional ? E.g.: After this I can have only 2 active cpus instead
of 5 on my Vexpress TC2 platform.

IMO we can keep this enabled by default in the build, but disabled
by default on boot. One way to achieve this:
(There's sysfs to re-enable it runtime)

This was added only for debugging purposes, again not sure if you want
this enabled by default. Ideally it should be triggered by CPUFreq.
