Cannot change FSB speed in eeepc (701)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. go to console and type cat /proc/cpuinfo
2. notice you are only using 630 mhz instead of 900 mhz
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected android to be able to change clock speed according to needs, using 
governors, for example. Instead it is stuck at 630 mhz.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ICS-RC1

Please provide any additional information below.
It is possible to change the eeepc 701 clock speed easily by using a kernel 
module.

This module is capable of doing so. Another alternative would be to implement 
governors and etc, to support other cpus and everything. Anyway, for the eeepc 
701, it would make a huge difference, since ICS is heavier. 

(also I am aware of being able to change the eeepc speed through BIOS hacks, 
but since its a linux based system, and there is already a solution for that, 
it would be great to use it)

yes please, pretty please. BIOS hack can brick 701 if you are unlucky.  build 
tree is unwieldy and can't find instructions for getting just enough to build a 
kernel module.
