Bug#619573: xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64: cpufreq scaling in Dom0 does not work
Seems like this is a regression bug in the kernel:
I installed linux-{image,ubuntu-modules}-2.6.24-28-xen from Ubuntu 8.04 and cpufreq=dom0-kernel worked exactly as expected (i.e. the Dom0 kernel does cpufreq scaling in exactly the same way it would if it were running natively).
I also tried linux-{image,modules}-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 from Debian Lenny, but unfortunately that one lacks the cpufreq modules.
Apparently, the bug was introduced somewhere between 2.6.25 and 2.6.31: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-02/msg00354.html
Which other kernel versions should I test to help narrow this down?
