cpufreq and changing driver

I have that line in that position, and it seems working. The point is
that i would like to change the driver and use (AFAIU) a better driver
for my system (est).
In particular i have:

dev.cpu.0.%desc: ACPI CPU
dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu
dev.cpu.0.%location: handle=\_PR_.CPU0
dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=none _UID=0
dev.cpu.0.%parent: acpi0

Maybe i didn't understood well: but what i have to do to use the Intel
Enhanced SpeedStep driver?

Well, thanks i'm very interested, although i'm not at all experienced
in kernel programming....

I'm not inside this issue, but it would not be possible to "emulate"
the behaviour of the ondemand governor? (sorry if this question makes
no sense)
