Right.

I sent a V2 that basically does that, it just makes sure that
"init_freq_invariance(secondary=false)" is called only once (the first CPU
that gets there), and init_counter_refs() instead is called by all.
Which makes me think, I could make better use of the "secondary" argument
to init_freq_invariance() and trim a couple of lines from
init_freq_invariance_cppc().
