But it could easily be added to the cpufreq drivers. For example, the
speedstep-centrino driver could call a
int acpi_get_frequency_table(struct cpufreq_frequency_table **freq_table)
which returns an array with the frequency in freq_table[i].frequency, and
some sort of "index" in freq_table[i].index, e.g. what needs to be written
into the IA32_PERF_CTL MSR.
