Ok. Maybe i am not seeing the point. But why do we need this in the kernel?
Can't we handles this easily in userspace?
Some kernel parts need to now: for example powernow-k8: some
we can tell them from userspace.
frequencies are not allowed when you are running off battery. [Just
now it is solved by not allowing those frequencies at all unless ACPI
is available; quite an ugly solution.]
And this is a reason to include it in the kernel?
Pavel? Is it you? What have they done to you? ;-)

I mean - we are moving suspend and everything to userspace, so i wonder
why this has to be in kernel.
