[RFC] prototype of top(1)'s CPU current frequency display

I want to see CPU current frequency on top(1), because I want
to see relation of process status (CPU usage) and cpu current
frequency using powerd(8) on the fly. In recently, many CPUs
for servers like Xeon support frequency changing like Speed
Step Technology. I run powerd(8) on these servers. So I
should know performance issue, whichever program performance
or server performance. I wrote a little usability patch.
But I don't think that my code is not good:-(. So please
improve my code.
Wellknown problem.
1. assume only 1 CPU.
2. assume dev.cpu.0.freq is always exists.
3. display position is good?
