By "right value" do you mean, "pass the frequency from cfs"?

If that is what you mean, then the answer is "yes". But it also means
that cfs will need access to either:

1) the cpu frequncy-domain topology described in struct cpufreq.cpus
OR
2) duplicate that frequency-domain knowledge, perhaps in sched_domain

If that isn't what you mean by "right value" then let me know.
