The patch does indeed include voltage settings, something which all
kernel sources i've checked (2.6.11.9 and 2.6.12.1) don't have.
The patch on the page you mentioned includes other changes that have
already been (partially) integrated into 2.6.12.1, so I tried the
patch at http://localhost.ruhr.de/~stefan/acerTM292/patches/cpufreq-speedstep-dothan-3.patch
(thanks to marco for the url) instead, since that only adds the
voltage tables for the dothan cpu's.

And it works! :)

Fortunately, gkrellm's cpuspeed plugin seems to work properly and it's
indeed showing lower frequencies now that it's running.

Now, who do I need to ask to include this patch in the next kernel
revision? :)
