hi list,

 i am trying to do a small rewrite of the speedstep-ich driver to 
address the following issues:

1.) detect all P4M's via the model_id string
2.) correctly register drivers on hyperthreading CPU's (and stop 
freeze-ups i occasionally had)
3.) do P4-clockmod on top of speedstep on P4-Ms

the patched driver works on my machine, but there seem to be 2 problems: 
sometimes the clockmod state is not set correctly and the powersave 
governor seems to miss the lowest frequency state (it instead switches 
to the second lowest).

it would be great if someone could test it on there machines and send me 
some reports. also any suggestions/tips are very welcome (since this is 
my first attempt at kernel coding).

best,

Christian Hoelbling
