Makes the cpufreq stuff at least a bit easier...
Compile tested, patched against 2.6.18-rc2
Disallow writing to /proc/acpi/processor/xy/performance
The preferred interface to switch CPU frequency steps is /sys/.../cpufreq.
This is known since the beginning of 2.6 kernels.
Writing to this file may interfere with thermal or _PPC limits.
If writing to the file is done while frequency is limited, frequency will get
stuck to this limit.
