My processor does not support speedstep for frequency scaling, it only
supports throttling.

The bug you pointed to does not seem to be entirely cpufreq specific,
so maybe it is relevant. Am not sure.

How can I diagnose the problem? I can put the system under load by
compiling something, but how can I best monitor acpi?
