There is no other user of relatead_cpus earlier in cpufreq core and that's why i wonder why it was added earlier.
But a grep of relatead_cpus for 3.8 showed some interesting users in: tools/power/cpupower/
I will try to check what they are doing with it, but for the kernel it was almost unused.
I checked tools and they aren't doing anything tricky with it. Just reading groups of cpus from sysfs.
Now i believe even tools should be patched a bit to give correct meanings of affected or related cpus. Let me try it.
