61da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
71da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
81da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.

101da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
111da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
