[PATCH] Trivial update: option for default ondemand cpufreq governor

This is a trivial patch that adds a Kconfig option to select the
*ondemand* cpufreq governor as the *default cpufreq governor*.

It seemed as useful as the other default governor options, and since
nobody else did it, here it is.

Feedback would be very appreciated. Also, please note that this is my first patch.

Applies cleanly to 2.6.10-rc2, 2.6.10-rc2-bk2 and 2.6.10-rc2-mm1.
Applies to 2.6.9 sources with line offset errors only.
