Hi Isaku,
I tried your updated patch, and xenpm works in my IPF box. the attached is the
xenpm output.

- check BIOS to see if DBS is enabled.
- or try the native linux (e.g. RHEL5), to see if the cpufreq works.
Also, it will be helpful if you can attach the xen serial log. please add
"loglvl=info" to elilo xen option, to make sure cpufreq information is printed.
