Oh dude, you already have this hack in place in a different way. Though its
doable this way:


And then the above statement:

acpi_cpufreq_attr[ARRAY_SIZE(acpi_cpufreq_attr) - 2 - cpb_removed] = &base_frequency;

But I would rather add another patch first to set the CPB thing in the array to
NULL and remove the ifdef from within the array. And then set it to a valid
attribute only if we are making an addition. And then you can easily keep a
count of the next NULL entry you can update.
