Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation

In linux kernel since version 2.6.12  
This adds the CPUFreq driver for Intel Pentium 4 / XEON
processors. When enabled it will lower CPU temperature by skipping
clocks.

This driver should be only used in exceptional
circumstances when very low power is needed because it causes severe
slowdowns and noticeable latencies. Normally Speedstep should be used
instead.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called p4-clockmod.

For details, take a look at Documentation/cpu-freq/.

Unless you are absolutely sure say N.
