    [CPUFREQ] Conservative cpufreq governer · b9170836
    Dave Jones authored
    
    A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches
    just posted.  This one is more suitable for battery environments where its
    probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease
    rather than flip between the min and max freq's.
    
    N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency
    between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements
    (200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.
