Is Anaconda currently checking the machine configuration against a

Perhaps a user-maintainable database; we can consider tying it in with
Smolt so that only users who own a particular model can submit
required kernel options for it (to verify ownership, give the user a
token that they must pass to Smolt, e.g. smoltSendProfile
--key=AF32EBD4008)
Speaking of Smolt, the CPUspeed reported does not seem that useful,
unless it interfaces with CPUspeed to first set the clockspeed to
minimum, take a measurement, then set it to maximum, measure, and then
restore the original setting? My 2GHz laptop was reported as a 1.6 ..
instead of faffing about changing speeds, it could just report
the contents of /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
if present.
