Sure I have old hardware, but I have to recompile the entire kernel with
module enabled for speedstep-centrino instead of just compiling the
module in a few seconds, as I have to patch the driver for accepting the
cpufreq tables for my Sonoma (stepping C0) 2.0 GHz Pentium-M which is
not standard built-in (btw also affects all Dothans (stepping B0), only
Banyas tables are built-in). BIOS won't enable acpi-cpufreq, of course,
supposing it has got all the tables. I guess that this ug  is 3  year
old and never will be fixed despite solid argumentation and flimsy
counter-argumentation.
