Ack! Did this really make it into the code? This is NOT the answer. the answer is to get rid of the useless CPU throttling and TCC which is the real cause of this. Neither of these methods was designed as a power management mechanism. They were designed to keep the processor from over-heating. They both can do what they were designed for quite well, but they can provide only very limited power savings and can actually result in higher power consumption in some cases. (I reported on my ...

Are there plans to add debug.cpufreq.highest support into CURRENT and eventually into 8-STABLE? Corresponding patches [0] have been available since Nov 2008 [1] and they work pretty well. This variable allows to underclock the CPU, which is useful when building quiet or low-power systems.
