Support intel-pstate driver. #19

Hi, the extension stopped working on my system since I've updated to linux-3.10. This is due to the use of the new intel P-state driver. This patch makes the extension work again.

Intel P-state driver was introduced in linux-3.9 (default in linux-3.10 I think) and doesn't support directly frequencies. It allows only to switch between the two available governors: performance and powersave. Show the governor name instead of the frequency.
