I should perhaps add at this point that I have an alternative patch 
based on Cristiano's code, which adds this cpufreq driver to the 
existing eeepc-laptop module rather than creating a separate module for it.

Personally I'm quite happy with either solution so I'll leave it to you 
to decide what is the best way to go, but my patch is available if you 
want it.
