Comment 16 for bug 63789

I didn't realize that this patch was also used to fix broken BIOSes. Therefore, I take back what I said about there being little point in including this patch.

However I still maintain that *if you have a correctly working BIOS*, you will not get much of a performance boost from the default tables---the performance boost is dramatically greater if you are allowed to lower those voltages another 30% or so, where allowed. Especially at your highest GHz.

I agree with Dreimann and Schneider that the risk of someone destroying their computer with the sysfs interface is nil... But I could see someone handing an op_points table to a friend and then the friend's computer crashing intermittently and it being blamed on Ubuntu. So I get yer point...

Now off I go to compile my kernel yet again.
