This is the kernel powering Android Atrix 4G MROM, it's main focus is battery life. After some requests from users, I decided to simply share the kernel to allow the use on any CM7 and GB ROMs. This is a branched off version of faux123 kernel for atrix. He did an amazing job putting this kernel together allowing me to tweak it just enough to improve battery life. I created 2 separate versions, one for CyanogenMod 7.2 and the other one for Gingerbread or Blur.
Current stable release: 2.6.32.60 build #45 (hv) and #44 (sv)
Current testing release:
For CM7 and GB, you can choose 2 types of kernels, the sv (Software Driven Voltages) or hv (Hardware Driven Voltages), I could not really establish the best battery saver kernel, it really depends on your personal usage.
The kernels run at maximum of 1 GHZ.

Installation:
If you need help in clarify the installation steps, maybe you should stay away from flashing a kernel anyway.
This kernel is a branch of faux123 kernel; it has been recompiled with the following changes:
Download Kernels HARDWARE and SOFTWARE voltages
Download EXPERIMENTAL BUILDS (requires registration)
All the source code changes made to the branched faux123 release are available via my github repository https://github.com/MROM/kernel-MB860
