[2.6.0-test10] cpufreq: 2G P4M won't go above 1.2G - cpuinfo_max_freq too low

Sorry... I posted this to the cpufreq list yesterday but I didn't get a
response. Apologies for crossposting.

I've just upgraded to 2.6.0-test10 and am trying to use the new cpufreq stuff
in there. I had everything working perfectly with 2.4.21-ac2, and the old
/proc/cpufreq interface.

I have a P4 2ghz (in a thinkpad), but it's not running at over about 1.2ghz
now. If I `cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq` it
tells me: "1198976". It should go faster than that. Similarly,
scaling_available_frequencies says "149872 299744 449616 599488 749360 899232
1049104 1198976"

Enabling the old interface in the kernel and doing a `echo -n
0%0%100%performance > /proc/cpufreq` doesn't change things either.

Here is my /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 2
model name : Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.00GHz
stepping : 7
cpu MHz : 1198.976
cache size : 512 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat
pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid
bogomips : 2359.29

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Simon
