Its an Intel c2d-6300 (see prev. messages) using cpufreq(4).
Everything works fine (for 6 months or more) with 4BSD or
ULE2/3(unpatched) scheduler.

AFAIK, the problem Jeff trying to resolve is why a ULE3(+last patch)
kernel, produces panics when a process touches cpufreq(4) context.

We are definitely talking about Jeff's ULE3 last patch right now and
not general. No other circumstance produce panic in my environment
(ULE-3 unpatched included).
