It does:

    # uname -a
    Linux Clio 2.6.32-trunk-686 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10 06:32:16 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
    # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
    ondemand performance
    # printf ondemand >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
    # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
    performance
    # dmesg | tail -1
    [38198.312686] ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HW, fallback to performance governor
