I was talking to Keir about this at the Xen Summit last week, and the
conclusion was that it's still not done - the code is in Xen to support
writing the MSR's, but the code to understand the overall CPU-load has
to be written. Looking at Xentop and it's interfaces and combining that
with some existing code for deciding CPU speed should be a workable
solution.
