eeepc-wmi: Add cpufv sysfs interface
eeepc-laptop provides a sysfs interface to read and control what it calls cpufv. When WMI is enabled, the ACPI interface changes slightly and becames a write-only control with 3 valid values. Expose cpufv again to allow for user space utils that can extended battery life noticably and come a little closer to parity with eeepc-laptop. Write-only is OK for most user space apps because read status was mostly used to prevent unneeded mode changes. Since this same check to ignore changes to same mode also exists in the DSDT then it was wasted ACPI call. acpi_osi="!Windows 2009" can be used for get back eeepc-laptop's read support of cpufv for debugging things such as behaviour during resume. This patch was tested with EEE PC 1005PE by monitoring powertop output while writing values of "0", "1", and "2" and by reviewing the decompiled DSDT of an 1201NL and comparing it to 1005PE's DSDT.
