+config CPU_FREQ
+ bool "CPU Frequency scaling"
+ help
+ CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
+ CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
+ the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
+
+ Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
+ clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
+ (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.
+
+ For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>.
+
+ If in doubt, say N.

+config CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE
+ tristate "'conservative' cpufreq governor"
+ depends on CPU_FREQ
+ help
+ 'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
+ governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
+ its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
+ environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
+ rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
+
+ If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
+ the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
+ PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
+ step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
+ transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called cpufreq_conservative.
+
+ For details, take a look at linux/Documentation/cpu-freq.
+
