"cpuspeed was moved to the security errata from the fastbugs errata
because the latest kernel security update depends on it.

This package adds the following enhancements :

  - Userspace needed to support the loading of the new
    Powernow-k8 module that has changed from being built in.
    By rectifying this bug, Userspace now loads the new
    module correctly.

  - The cpuspeed init script needed to support loading the
    speedstep-centrino module if all other module loads had
    failed. This fallback for Intel hardware is now included
    with this updated package."
