gkrellm-cpufreq does not work at all. What about just add gkrellm-cpupower
which does not fileconflict with gkrellm-cpufreq to update channels? And we can
release gkrellm-cpufreq just with README.SUSE that it does not work and perhaps
even Require gkrellm-cpupower from that package.

This was first I tried. Unfortunately cpupower_is_cpu_online is private:

cpupower-4.11[1]> find -name *.h -exec grep cpupower_is_cpu_online {} +
./lib/cpupower.h:int cpupower_is_cpu_online(unsigned int cpu);
cpupower-4.11[1]>

$ rpm -ql cpupower-devel | grep '\.h'
/usr/include/cpufreq.h
/usr/include/cpuidle.h
$

And, as you know, 'our' gkrellm-cpufreq is hacked to use cpupower anyway, I
think much better is to use new upstream version to find bugs etc, you know,
open source.
