[Tfug] Throttling cpu based on cpu temp?

[Timothy D. Lenz]

Don't know about based on heat. can throttle based on load if supported:

http://www.pantz.org/software/cpufreq/usingcpufreqonlinux.html

Module options back when I set it up:
	cpufreq_conservative
	cpufreq_ondemand
	cpufreq_powersave
	cpufreq_stats
	cpufreq_userspace
	freq_table
