commit 22923466739d22c9ca74ee00fc882a321975e155
Author: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer(a)chromium.org>
Date: Mon Apr 2 13:35:09 2012 -0700
Add support for Intel Turbo Boost feature
From wikipedia:
Intel Turbo Boost is a technology implemented by Intel in certain
versions of their Nehalem- and Sandy Bridge-based CPUs, including Core
i5 and Core i7 that enables the processor to run above its base
operating frequency via dynamic control of the CPU's "clock rate".
It is activated when the operating system requests the highest
performance state of the processor.

Don't unconditionally show ChromeOS options
Google ChromeOS specific options were shown in the main menu
unconditionally, even on non-ChromeOS devices. Instead, hide
these options unless CONFIG_CHROMEOS is set, and also put them
in a separate menu.
