The cpufreq core has gone though lots of updates in recent times, but on many occasions the documentation wasn't updated along with the code. This patch tries to catchup the documentation with the code. Also add Rafael and Viresh as the contributors to the documentation. Based on a patch from Claudio Scordino.

Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the CPUs on the
|
|
fly. This is a nice method to save battery power, because the lower
|
|
the clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
