help
The powernow-k8 driver used to provide a sysfs knob called "cpb"
to disable the Core Performance Boosting feature of AMD CPUs. This
file has now been superseded by the more generic "boost" entry.
By enabling this option the acpi_cpufreq driver provides the old
entry in addition to the new boost ones, for compatibility reasons.

help
This adds AMD-specific powersave bias function to the ondemand
governor, which allows it to make more power-conscious frequency
change decisions based on feedback from hardware (available on AMD
Family 16h and above).
Hardware feedback tells software how "sensitive" to frequency changes
the CPUs' workloads are. CPU-bound workloads will be more sensitive
-- they will perform better as frequency increases. Memory/IO-bound
workloads will be less sensitive -- they will not necessarily perform
better as frequency increases.

This is deprecated and this functionality is now merged into
acpi_cpufreq ([31mCONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ[0m). Use that driver instead of
speedstep_centrino.
This adds the CPUFreq driver for Enhanced SpeedStep enabled
mobile CPUs. This means Intel Pentium [31mCONFIG_M[0m (Centrino) CPUs

config [31mCONFIG_X86_P4_CLOCKMOD[0m
tristate "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation"
help
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.

Don't perform all checks for a speedstep capable system which would
normally be done. Some ancient or strange systems, though speedstep
capable, don't always indicate that they are speedstep capable. This
option lets the probing code bypass some of those checks if the
parameter "relaxed_check=1" is passed to the module.
