X86_PM_TIMER: /proc/cpuinfo doesn't get updated

Hi,
I have a notebook with an Athlon-M CPU. I tried linux 2.6.4 with
CONFIG_X86_PM_TIMER=y and I noticed that /proc/cpuinfo doesn't get
updated when I switch frequency (via sysfs, using powernow-k7). The is
issue seems cosmetic only, CPU frequency changes (watching
temperature/battery life).

Without X86_PM_TIMER I see the actual speed in /proc/cpuinfo. It seems
that cpu_khz isn't updated on frequency change, but I don't know how
this can affect the rest of the system...
