SubjectRe: [BUG?] Moving drivers to drivers/cpufreq/ causes all to be loaded

The "30% increase" part was an unrelated bug (i915.i915_enable_rc6=1
brings power consumption back to normal), for those who were
wondering. :)

Old userspace automatically loading the wrong cpufreq drivers still
does not seem great to me, though I don't have any great ideas about
how to prevent that (a separate drivers/cpufreq-drivers/ directory
does not sound too appealing). I guess I'd be most interested in how
to fix (1) first.

Thanks,
Jonathan
