Hey,

Sorry for the delay. Got side tracked with some commercial stuff. I'm 
still invested in finishing this up. I'll try to send out something 
within a week.

I did notice (didn't read mych) the "Locking issues with cpufreq and 
sysfs" thread. I think my patches should side step most of it.

Thanks,
Saravana
