Did you two ever try compiling powertop for the kindle? I can't find anything about that, except that it was in the gpl sources for the kindle. I'd love to have a powertop binary, but I have no build environment set up.

Update:
Never mind. The kindle includes a powertop binary. But the kernel support for it is disable so it's useless unless you create your own kernel...
