The rationale is that I am moving things to the newly added "cpufeaturebus", so that options(4) are not used directly. This provides modularity and will allow safe fallback to ENHANCED_SPEEDSTEP and POWERNOW_K8 if problems are detected with acpicpu(4). But I wouldn't want to unnecessarily add entries to cpu_info because of something with dubious value -- and no users?
Fallback to ODCM if neither acpicpu nor est are available, but don't remove it. Why would you have to add things to cpu_info? If you think you have to add extra things to cpuinfo you need to step back and rethink what you're doing.
