Somebody should fix http://ww.linuxpowertop.org/known.php then, it says: "The kernels ondemand CPU frequency management function currently has a high-frequency timer that samples to see if the CPU is idle. Intel fixed this and the patches to the kernel to effectively remove this timer are included in Linus' tree as of 2.6.22-rc1." which confused me no end when I was looking at this stuff and wondering why it was in the -mm tree if Linus already picked it up. :) --==_Exmh_1184017334_3383P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFGkqu2cC3lWbTT17ARAjcKAKC1Opn/Y8foWsNq/s+Zl1uX1L5JvwCeLdAx Awip8PB74mAQPjwIMmgwKwU= =8Bqz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1184017334_3383P--
