That bug report has restricted access, even if one creates a Red Hat
Bugzilla account. Once I created an account I got:

"Most likely the bug has been restricted for internal development processes
and we cannot grant access."

Can it be set for public access?

As a side note on this one:

The current version of the intel_pstate driver is incompatible with
any use of Clock Modulation, always resulting in driving the target
pstate to the minimum, regardless of load. The result is the apparent
CPU frequency stuck at minimum * modulation percent.

Proposed intel_pstate driver versions using some sort of C0 time again
works fine with Clock Modulation, resulting in
desired frequency * modulation percent.

The acpi-cpufreq driver works fine with Clock Modulation, resulting in
desired frequency * modulation percent.

There are other reports of what I think is the same issue on other
bug reports and forum posts. To confirm or deny, I am attempting to
get sufferers to do your test and report back.
