Currently a hook in pm-utils restores the CPU frequency governor after
resume. However, this approach misses the restoring of all 'other' policy
values like the up_threshold, etc. Because of this, policy agents still
have to call into the hald-addon-cpufreq to apply their policy after
resume. So in future versions, as soon as the TODO item is done, wouldn't
it make sense to remove the hook from pm-utils and let hald-addon-cpufreq
care about proper suspend/resume handling to have everything in one place?
