 1. Introduction
 
 cpufreq-stats is a driver that provides CPU frequency statistics for each CPU.
-These statistics are provided in /sysfs as a bunch of read_only interfaces. This
-interface (when configured) will appear in a separate directory under cpufreq
-in /sysfs (<sysfs root>/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/stats/) for each CPU.
-Various statistics will form read_only files under this directory.

 that may be running on your CPU. So, it will work with any cpufreq_driver.
