No, there's no requirement that cpufreq be limited to clock-multiplier 
based methods. It's the right interfae to use for CPU speed control.

(snip patch)

Is this different to the cpufreq driver suggested at 
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/23/115 , other than the latter having 
hardcoded speed values?
