FC6 test1 - cpuspeed-1.2.1-1.34

[Roberto Cangiamila]

cpuspeed-1.2.1-1.34 fails on FC6 test 1 for intel mac platform.
It fails, because intel mac is multicore.

I get this error message :

/etc/init.d/cpuspeed: line 45:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings/cpufreq/scaling_governor: Not
a directory

in fact on intel machines you really don't want cpuspeed at all;

just remove it and put
modprobe cpufreq_ondemand
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor

into your /etc/rc.local

much more happyness than cpuspeed

the initscript for cpuspeed does load ondemand on speedstep-centrino
systems in FC6.  Looks like I got a bug somewhere though.
