So, I've updated my perf/env branch with routines to do that, that uses
infrastructure to read files from virtual dirs that was there plus a few
I just introduced, in the same vein, I will update your patches to use
them and put there as well, for your consideration.

The HEAD there is the one below:

commit 2bc1fae4ed8a842f52dc374449d37c3ec1fa1986

    tools lib cpu: Introduce cpu.[ch] to read sysfs cpu related information
    
    E.g.:
    
     $ ./cpu__get_max_freq
     3200000
    
    It does that, as Kan's patch does, by looking at these files:
    
      $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online
      0-3
      $ ./sysfs__read_ull
      devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq=3200000
      $
    
    I.e. find out the first online CPU, then read its cpufreq info.
    
    But do it in tools/lib/api/, so that other tools living code can use
    it, not just perf.
