cpufreq: allow customization of some parameters

Short of having a way for powersaved to dynamically adjust these
values, at least allow specifying them on the command line. In
particular, always running at an up-threshold of 80% is perhaps nice
for laptop use, but certainly not desirable on servers. On shell
scripts invoking large numbers of short-lived processes I noticed a
50% performance degradation on a dual-socket quad-core Barcelona just
because of the load of an individual core never crossing the 80%
boundary that would have resulted in increasing the frequency.

(Powersaved on SLE10 sets this on native kernels to 60% or 80%,
depending on whether performance or power reduction is preferred,
*divided* by the number of CPUs, but capped at the lower limit of
20%.)
