Thanks to all who replied.  This is called Intel SpeedStep Tech in that BIOS and it was indeed disabled.

I enabled it and now I have in dmesg
est0: <Enhanced SpeedStep Frequency Control> on cpu0
even with hint.p4tcc.0.disabled="1" 

for each CPU and dev.cpu.0.freq appeared back.

Thanks for your help.
