Subject: pentium 4 clock modulation support

hi folks.
the pentium4 cpu has a method of varying the 'duty cycle' of
the clock which has the effect of slowing down the clock,
reducing power usage slightly. the patch below adds support
for modifying this value, but it's not complete (no MP or HT
support, plus some errata need to be properly considered)
and even at 12.5% of duty cycle my laptop only used maybe 1W
less power.
i'm sending this patch incase someone else wants this support
or wants to finish the missing bits. with working old
"speedstep" support for (some) P4's, which in low-power mode
uses 5-6W less power for my laptop, the minor power benefit
of modifying the duty cycle doesn't really outweight the
significant cpu speed reduction for me, i have no plans to
use this feature anymore.
.mrg.
