I thought this was already fixed and merged in July by Bruno.  In any 
case, the right place to fix this is in the cpufreq driver (or 
acpi_perf, where I think this only occurs).  See rev 1.21.2.3 of 
acpi_perf.c.

Actually, it would be important to see if this is happening in another 
driver.  The output of "sysctl dev.cpu" will show all the child drivers 
and settings so we can see if he's using acpi_perf or some other cpufreq 
driver.
