My most fundamental concern here is that attributes that don't apply
to a particular governor should not appear in sysfs at all when that
governor is in use (instead of appearing and always returning -EINVAL
which is sort of silly).

That doesn't mean the common code cannot access them, though.  They
still can be present in the data structure, but it may be a good idea
to set them to special values clearly meaning "invalid" then.

Thanks,
