    Subject[PATCH 4/8] ACPI: Load acpi-cpufreq from processor driver automatically
    Date
    From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

    The only left over hole in automatic cpufreq driver loading was the loading
    of ACPI cpufreq. This driver should be loaded when ACPI supports a _PDC
    method and the CPU vendor wants to use acpi cpufreq.

    Simply add a request module call to the acpi processor core driver
    when this is true. This seems like the simplest solution for this.
