[v3.10-rc] intel_pstate question

Hi,

the sysfs-interface of intel_pstate is different to that of the acpi driver:
- intel_pstate shows current cpu-frequency in "cpuinfo_cur_freq" whereas
the acpi counterpart uses "scaling_cur_freq".
- moreover cpuinfo_cur_freq is readable by root only, whereas
scaling_cur_freq is world readable.

A monitoring tool must take care of theese differences.
Is this intentional?

Thanks, JÃrg
