Sweet!
OK, so any chance to get a Fixes: tag for the patch?
Sure. Please find an inline patch below with all acks and fixes tag. thanks!

Since the recent remote cpufreq callback work, its possible that a cpufreq update is triggered from a remote CPU. For single policies however, the current code uses the local CPU when trying to determine if the remote sg_cpu entered idle or is busy. This is incorrect. To remedy this, compare with the nohz tick idle_calls counter of the remote CPU.
