Description of problem:
Power management guide is wrong 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Power_Management_Guide/cpufreq_setup.html#enabling_a_cpufreq_governor

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 17

the location of the cpufreq directory is misspecified
it is
/lib/modules/3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/cpufreq

There are no modules
acpi-cpufreq or p4-clockmod available
is acpi-cpufreq directly compiled in.


the cpuspeed package is mentioned for the userspace governor but no package
exists in fedora 17.

I have been completely unable to figure out the following use case.

My laptop overheats and powers off if the cpu load is high for too long.

There should be a cpu governor or userspace daemon that reduces frequency when
the temperature gets too high.
