I'm not aware of the details of the ipaq cpufreq driver - it's neither in
the kernel sources, nor was it ever posted on this list... so it _might_ be
a driver- or platform-specific problem. Maybe some timing calculations are
wrong after calls to cpufreq_set, maybe there needs to be some delay between
subsequent calls to cpufreq_set, ...
Other than that, cpufreq_set() is deprecated in 2.6.
