[Bug 23768] Re: /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector should have different access permissions

Entries in /sys can be chown'd and chmod'd:

Perhaps /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/* could be chgrp'd to admin
and chmod'd 664 on boot? (And cpufreq selector made to just test if it
can write to the files it needs before complaining). In fact, it's
really just a handful of files that need chmod'ing, not the entire
directory.

No suid root need.

Although perhaps we want some scripts to run in order to do this
chmodding when CPUs are hotplugged too ;)
