zen kernel 3.1.5 some features missing

[nox]

Greetings,

just updated the git repository yesterday from 3.1.4 to 3.1.5.

linux-phc is missing
CKO doesn't work anymore

And SLQB is missing from 2.6.x, is there a reason?

Thanks anyway for the effort in this really useful project, keep it on!

I correct myself: CKO works, was just automatically deselected from
the configuration after the sources update.

I'll be adding in aufs-3.1, but I'm not so certain about linux-phc. I
tried it on my own laptop and didn't notice any real reduction in heat
dissipation or power usage.

This isn't anything that can be worked around. In linux-phc, you
can't select voltages below the lowest option available through speed
step. It's a shame, really, that this obstacle prevents linux-phc
from being too useful.

Oh, and SLQB doesn't measurably improve performance either and I don't
believe it's being worked on either. All the neat things about SLQB
have probably already been implemented in SLUB.

I understand, from my point of view linux-phc gives a really small but
still useful improvement in power consumption.

I can tell for sure because my laptop (Thinkpad r61) is affected by a
really weird problem: in low power state the CPU buzzes...
If I use linux-phc, lowering the voltage as much as possible, the buzz
noise calms down a bit.
I know that measuring the power consumption of a computer listening to
it sounds really weird and doesn't looks really professional, but this
is my experience with linux-phc.

Is there a way to know what projects are actively included in the
project? The website is quite outdated...

Cheers!

Do you mean the fan control?

I don't know what you're talking about.

The issue my notebook suffers is well explained here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/146261-t61-santa-rosa-fixed-cpu-whine-issue-t60.html
here's a video showing the kind of noise:

As you can see the fan is not involved at all.
The sound gets more quiet lowering the voltage of the CPU.
