In short, yes but YMMV. I saw a few patches on the list that added
frequency scaling to the hypervisor itself but I don't know the
current status for that. They should be in xen-unstable.

Another option is to set 'cpufreq=dom0-kernel' as an option for xen
and run cpufreqd in dom0. I have tested this on Intel's Core2 Duo and
AMD's Opterons. Xen 3.2.1 should have what you need but it is quite
possible that a previous version will also work.

Cheers,
Niraj
