So, I took this thing for a spin, but it didn't work at all.  I loaded
the module, and did "echo demandbased > /sys/.../scaling_governor".
This echo never returned, and the keyboard locked up.  After a little

paste into an xterm and start top, which showed nothing unusual.  I
could shut down and reboot normally.
