[issue754] cpufreq driver modules not loaded by default

[Andras Korn]

New submission from Andras Korn <korn-grml at elan.rulez.org>:

Hi,

grml64 2009.05 (and I believe also 32bit grml) fails to load the cpufreq driver
module (in most cases powernow-k[78] or acpi-cpufreq), which results in a waste
of electric power until the user does it by hand. (Setting the scheduler to
ondemand manually may also be necessary; I've grown accustomed to doing it no
matter what, so I'm not sure grml doesn't do it for me.)

Would there be any harm in just trying to load all cpufreq drivers? Or at least
the most common ones? (I'm not sure complex auto-detection is warranted if udev
doesn't do it on its own.)

Andras
