Re: [PATCH 1/1] cpufreq: eeepc 900 frequency scaling driver

It appears to be implemented in the 900 and 901 BIOSes as well, so some kind of limitation is probably needed. The best approach would probably to check whether the CPU has the EST flag. Just do something like:

struct cpuinfo_x86 *cpu = &cpu_data(policy->cpu);

if (cpu->x86_vendor != X86_VENDOR_INTEL || cpu_has(cpu, X86_FEATURE_EST))
return -ENODEV

at the top of the cpufreq init code. That way you'll refuse to bind on anything that implements speedstep and acpi-cpufreq can be used instead.

Sounds like a good idea - here's a new version with that check added:
