The Celeron M CPU is a Pentium-M without EIST. Otherwise you'd see EST
bit set in Features2. See https://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee. Guess
that's why Asus deliberately underclocked it to 630MHz in the first
gen EEE PC 701 - no automatic way available.

Don't know if p4tcc or acpi_throttle helps, though.
