There has been some work to generate module aliases and uevents for x86
CPU features. This would allow udev to load cpufreq drivers just like
any other device, removing the need for cpufrequtils to know which
drivers handle which CPUs. It looks like this will be going into Linux
3.4 but I would be open to backporting this feature to 3.2 for wheezy.
The changes I see in linux-next are:
