Ok, if the scaling doesn't work any more, that's a bug rather
than an intentional breakage. More details please? dmesg ?
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq contents? What were you using
to do the scaling previously? (An app, or ondemand)

The actual speedstep component ("ondemand" cpufreq) is working just
fine, according to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq. But /proc/cpuinfo
is no longer reflecting the current values -- stuck at 800Mhz
regardless of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq showing other values.
