Well, so to speak, the script is not an intelligent entity and while it can
give you hints, it by no means is an ultimate source of information.

If you did "grep -r -I -l APERF *" in the kernel source tree, you'll
immediately see that PM uses it.

And while at it, we really should only be using the APERF/MPERF ratio so I'm
not sure why this patch actually matters?

Thanks,
Rafael
