The user/admin documentation of cpufreq is badly outdated. It conains stale and/or inaccurate information along with things that are not particularly useful. Also, some of the important pieces are missing from it. For this reason, add a new user/admin document for cpufreq containing current information to admin-guide and drop the old outdated .txt documents it is replacing. Since there will be more PM documents in admin-guide going forward, create a separate directory for them and put the cpufreq document in there right away. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the CPUs on the
|
|
fly. This is a nice method to save battery power, because the lower
|
|
the clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
