Another good reason to make this change - I believe the current code
will not support a cpufreq policy covering CPUs of different types (such
as a b.L system in a single frequency domain).

The max requested capacity is calculated using the absolute/global
capacity values requested from each CPU. A small CPU needing a higher
OPP may get ignored because of a request from a big CPU for a lower OPP,
because the big CPU @ lower OPP shows up as the max capacity request.
