            Bug ID: 73781
           Summary: acpi-cpufreq cannot be loaded.
           Product: Power Management
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.14
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: cpufreq
          Assignee: cpufreq@vger.kernel.org
          Reporter: katoh@mikage.ne.jp
        Regression: No

After I upgraded kernel to 3.14, acpi-cpufreq module cannot be loaded.
Accordingly my laptop's cpufreq doesn't run anymore.
Until kernel 3.13.8, acpi-cpufreq has been loaded automatically as expected.

If I try to load acpi-cpufreq manually on 3.14, 

# modprobe acpi-cpufreq
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'acpi_cpufreq': No such device

Strangely if p4_clockmod was loaded initially, acpi-cpufreq can be
loaded sucessfully too. My laptop's cpu is PentiumM though.

# modprobe p4-clockmod
# modprobe acpi-cpufreq

In this case, available frequencies are messed up.

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
212500 425000 637500 850000 1062500 1275000 1487500 1700000

On 3.13.8 (This is correct.)
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
1700000 1400000 1200000 1000000 800000 600000
