I'm sorry, I am not able to reproduce this issue (using 2.6.21.3). Everything 
works fine on my Turion laptop. It looks like there is also CPU hotplug 
involved in that issue, since brining cpu1 back on doesn't update siblings 
and cpu_cores in /proc/cpuinfo as well. Can you specify more details about 
the system you are using? Have you tried enabling CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG and 
booting with "cpufreq.debug=7"?
