I've been using it since 6.2 on 4 intel boxes (one of them a notebook)
without any problems.

You can check the available freq. steps with sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels
and see the current speed with sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq.

Do make sure you set the debug.cpufreq.lowest to a sensible value, otherwise
things will be somewhat sluggish.
