+What:  ACPI hooks (X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI) in speedstep-centrino driver
+When:  December 2006
+Why:   Speedstep-centrino driver with ACPI hooks and acpi-cpufreq driver are
+       functionally very much similar. They talk to ACPI in same way. Only
+       difference between them is the way they do frequency transitions.
+       One uses MSRs and the other one uses IO ports. Functionaliy of
+       speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks is now merged into acpi-cpufreq.
+       That means one common driver will support all Intel Enhanced Speedstep
+       capable CPUs. That means less confusion over name of
+       speedstep-centrino driver (with that driver supposed to be used on
+       non-centrino platforms). That means less duplication of code and
+       less maintenance effort and no possibility of these two drivers
+       going out of sync.
+       Current users of speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks are requested to
+       switch over to acpi-cpufreq driver. speedstep-centrino will continue
+       to work using older non-ACPI static table based scheme even after this
+       date.
