122 This is deprecated and this functionality is now merged into
123 acpi_cpufreq (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ). Use that driver instead of
124 speedstep_centrino.
125 This adds the CPUFreq driver for Enhanced SpeedStep enabled

127 or 64bit enabled Intel Xeons.

175 select CPU_FREQ_TABLE
176 help
177 This adds the CPUFreq driver for Intel Pentium 4 / XEON
178 processors. When enabled it will lower CPU temperature by skipping
179 clocks.
181 This driver should be only used in exceptional
182 circumstances when very low power is needed because it causes severe
183 slowdowns and noticeable latencies. Normally Speedstep should be used
184 instead.
186 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
187 module will be called p4-clockmod.

232 help
233 This adds the CPUFreq driver for VIA C7 processors. However, this driver
234 does not have any safeguards to prevent operating the CPU out of spec
235 and is thus considered dangerous. Please use the regular ACPI cpufreq
236 driver, enabled by CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ.

249 help
250 Don't perform all checks for a speedstep capable system which would
251 normally be done. Some ancient or strange systems, though speedstep
252 capable, don't always indicate that they are speedstep capable. This
253 option lets the probing code bypass some of those checks if the
254 parameter "relaxed_check=1" is passed to the module.
