Bug#490108: linux-2.6: please enable CONFIG_X86_P4_CLOCKMOD
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.25-6
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
desktop x86 cpus before Core 2 Duo don't have (enhanced) speedstep, so they
can't use acpi-cpufreq nor speedstep-centrino to do frequency scaling.
However, they can use p4-clockmod to do frequency throttling, which is not as
good as frequency scaling but still can be useful.
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/cpufreq/hardware.html has a list
of which hardware is supported for which module.
So it'd be nice if CONFIG_X86_P4_CLOCKMOD (and CONFIG_P4_CLOCKMOD on i386 I
guess) could be enabled.
Cheers,
