Yes, sure. However, only on the x86 I'm quite confident that the throttling
state is equivalent to the idle state, and therefore doesn't offer
_additional_ power savings (besides the effect discussed by Dave yesterday)
if the CPU load is lower than (1 - throttling_rate), IMO.

CPUFREQ_SCALING:
	acpi-cpufreq
	elanfreq
	powernow-k{6,7,8}
	speedstep-{smi,ich,centrino}
	longrun
	longhaul

CPUFREQ_THROTTLING:
	p4-clockmod
	gx-suspmod

The other architectures I'm not so familiar with, so this list is x86 only
at the moment.

	Dominik
