Drivers supporting multiple clusters or multiple 'struct cpufreq_policy'
instances may need to keep per-policy data. If the core doesn't support them,
they might do it in the most unoptimized way: 'per-cpu' data.

This patch adds another field in 'struct cpufreq_policy': 'driver_data'. It
isn't accessed by core and is for driver's internal use.

Minor comment for consistency either maintain same commenting style
for the above structure (description after the variable) or may
be clean up the comments in another patch.

Adding these to the end of variable makes it take multiple lines as we need
to break after 80 columns. And both the styles are already mixed
in existing file. So, would fix it separately in case I go for it :)
