[CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Option to disable ACPI C3 support
On some motherboards ACPI C3 is available, but it isn't causing frequency transition on VIA Nehemiah. Longhaul wasn't working at all earlier, but due to scaling_cur_speed returning true CPU frequency now, it looks like CPU is getting stuck at highest frequency since 2.6.21. I didn't find a reason. Halt is causing frequency transition. Signed-off-by: Rafal Bilski <rafalbilski@interia.pl> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
