Good point. I actually kept it from being modular for the very reason
that it's needed in the idle loop to restore the cpu frequency when
coming out of power savings modes.

The whole idle/cpufreq dependencies should be overhauled at some point,
to avoid this, or at least allow the cpufreq driver to be a module
(and make idle default to spin when it's not loaded).
