OK, thanks.  That indicates that we did install a
acpi_processor_performance structure, but something must have later on
zeroed it.

Hopefully the cpufreq guys will be able to reproduce this.

<tries it>

Actually, I cannot even rmmod the thing:

Module                  Size  Used by
p4_clockmod             6980  1 
speedstep_lib           5376  1 p4_clockmod

It looks like either it has a refcounting problem or it has been changed so
that it is deliberately pinned.
