Hello,
I am working on DVFS capable CPU - Nehalem quad core and I need to modify
the
CPU speed and voltage. I disabled cpuspeed service on my machine and
modified
some piece of cpuspeed code, to change the frequency of all the CPUs the way
I want.

I am curious whether the voltage gets increased and decreased in proportion
to the
frequency, or can we control the voltage separately. I could not locate any
/sys entries for voltage
only for frequency.

-- 
Regards,
Priya

Have a look at voltage regulator framework in include/linux/regulator.
It's used for CPU DVFS on ARM atm.
