Zeroed field in /proc/..../CPU/performance

/Dear acpi-list,

Im running kernel 2.4.21 with acpi-20030619 on my Acer Travelmate.
Almost everything works quite fine but when looking at 
/proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/performance the fields which should 
indicate/display power consumption information are zero:

cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/performance
//state count:             2
//active state:            P0
//states:
//   *P0:                  1800 MHz, 0 mW, 250 uS
//    P1:                  1200 MHz, 0 mW, 250 uS

The CPU is an Intel P4-mobile, 1.8G

The zeros shown are not specific to this version of acpi, the zeros are there 
since the first time I tried out the acpi-patch somewhen in autumn 2002, but
I did not worry about them...

Do these zeros have any effect or are they just for (user-) information?

Regards,
Maier Gerfried
