-3.2 Deprecated Interfaces
--------------------------

-Depending on your kernel configuration, you might find the following
-cpufreq-related files:
-/proc/cpufreq
-/proc/sys/cpu/*/speed
-/proc/sys/cpu/*/speed-min
-/proc/sys/cpu/*/speed-max

-These are files for deprecated interfaces to cpufreq, which offer far
-less functionality. Because of this, these interfaces aren't described
-here.
