some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/
need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them. This will
just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu.
sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such
entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass. The issue
is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we would need to
defer the creation until the online notification comes.
Current users: cache entries for Intel CPU's and cpufreq subsystem.
