Venkatesh Pallipadi 4db8699bcf [IA64] Add ACPI based P-state support
Patch to support P-state transitions on ia64. This driver is based on ACPI,
and uses the ACPI processor driver interface to find out the P-state support
information for the processor. This driver plugs into generic cpufreq
infrastructure.

Once this driver is loaded successfully, ondemand/userspace governor can be
used to change the CPU frequency dynamically based on load or on request from
userspace process.

Refer :
ACPI specification -

This driver adds a CPUFreq driver which utilizes the ACPI
Processor Performance States.
For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq/>.
If in doubt, say N.
