I may have dreamt it, but wasn't there going to be a list datatype? On the
assumption that I'm wrong, or this is more suitable/simple, what about: 

Key: system.processor.throttle_frequencies (string)
Mandatory: No
Description: A simple string showing the allowed frequencies and/or
ranges of the frequency of the CPU. Values are in MHz.
Note: Only valid if system.processor.can_throttle is TRUE

Sure, lets the program make the clever decisions (PowerManager?)
