I'll be working on an updated version within the next few days, check
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/cpufreq/ for updated patches, please.

IMHO it's no stuff for 2.4.22. Davej/Russell, what's your opinion about 2.4.
in general?

I've no objection really, but it does mean that we would be introducing
an already obsolete interface into mainline. (~Not htat that's really a
problem, we did already for 2.5 anyway).

I'd like to see the core in asap, if possible for .22, and I don't
care that much about the interface right now...

The point is that a bunch of recent Apple laptops boot at low speed
by default, and the only way I provide to switch them to full speed
is via cpufreq...  That's one of the few bits still preventing me
to fully merge my "powermac" kernels into mainline.
