commit 22923466739d22c9ca74ee00fc882a321975e155
Author: Stefan Reinauer <reinauer at chromium.org>

    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.
