Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-686
Severity: minor


With 2.6.15 and under, /proc/cpuinfo reports true cpu frequency when 
using cpufreq (at least on non-SMP x86)

But since 2.6.16, we only get the target frequency of the current 
governor (ie. I get 1600 MHz instead of 1598.89 or something 
else when my multiplier is 16, no mather if the FSB is 100 or 1000 MHz)

/proc/cpuinfo should report the true speed, so that we know if our CPU 
is overclocked or underclocked.

i remember seeing this in older kernels,
but should have been fixed by upstream inbetween.
