Title:
  acpi-cpufreq/powernow-k8 should not be built-in into the kernel image

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: linux-image-generic

  I am using ubuntu jaunty. acpi-cpufreq is not a module anymore and is
  directly included in the kernel. I think it is a bad decision because
  it is now very difficult to use phc to undervolt a processor : we need
  to compile the whole kernel with acpi-cpufreq as a module instead of
  just compile the module. http://www.linux-phc.org/index.php

  Hence, I am requesting in the kernel config change:
  CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=y
  CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y

  to:
  CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=m
  CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m
