I think the real problem is we don't want to add VIA C7 support to
speedstep-centrino, because the name of the driver might
confuse users. But it might be possible we have to
support hardcoded tables for VIA C7, due to bad written
AMLs for example. I really don't know how to resolve in a clean
manner this perticular issue. Maybe:
1- adding support for the msr stuff to acpi-cpufreq
or
2- rename speedstep-centrino.
With 1 we wont be able to add hardcoded tables for VIA C7 though.
