Hello,

Commit 04751bee05525eaa9310f4050b2f6ebdbcb62567
"cpufreq-cleanup-cpufreq_add_dev" in the lttng tree breaks the build on
machines without CONFIG_SMP:
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c: In function ‘cpufreq_add_dev’:
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:957: error: ‘managed_policy’ undeclared (first
use in this function)
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:957: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:957: error: for each function it appears in.)
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:1007: warning: label ‘err_unlock_gov_mutex’
defined but not used
make[2]: *** [drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.o] Error 1
