well, acpi-cpufreq appears to work here. The only drawback is that BIOS
supports only 2 states (750 and 500MHz) while Toshiba HCI interface can
switch between 8 levels; unfortunately I have no idea what frequencies they
have.
Is there any utility to measure actual CPU frequency? If I can determine real
speed, I could try extend DSDT to support other levels too.
