    Too many users use the p4-clockmod cpufreq driver instead of the more
    advanced speedstep-centrino, speedstep-ich or even acpi drivers.  All of
    the latter (usually) provide voltage scaling, while the p4-clockmod driver
    only offers a variant of frequency scaling.  So, warn users if they try out
    this driver instead.
    
    Also, instead of using a local copy, use the speedstep_lib infrastructure
    for detecting the processor speed.  Adding the Pentium-M get_frequency
    function to that module only costs about 200 bytes in object size.
