With this patch you have following minimal sampling rate restrictions:
Kernel restrictions:
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is set, the limit is 10ms fixed.
If CONFIG_NO_HZ is not set or no_hz=off boot parameter is used, the
limits depend on the CONFIG_HZ option:
HZ=1000: min=20000us (20ms)
HZ=250: min=80000us (80ms)
HZ=100: min=200000us (200ms)
HW restrictions:
Do not sample/poll more often than HW latency * 100 exported by the low
level cpufreq HW driver
The higher value of above restrictions is the minimal sampling rate
that can be set (and can be seen via ondemand/sampling_rate_min sysfs file)
Default sampling rate still is HW latency * 1000, but this will now end
up in lower values on latest (Intel and AMD) hardware as these can switch
really fast and sampling rate mostly was limited to the 80ms or 200ms
(depending on whether HZ=250 or HZ=1000 is used).

cpufreq fix timer teardown in ondemand governor
The problem is that dbs_timer_exit() uses cancel_delayed_work() when it should
use cancel_delayed_work_sync(). cancel_delayed_work() does not wait for the
workqueue handler to exit.
The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the
"if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns
immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in
2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things
usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then
started, this could lead to the following race :
dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run.
This is why a synchronized teardown is required.
The following patch applies to, at least, 2.6.28.x, 2.6.29.1, 2.6.30-rc2.

Hrm, I think it must be due to my attempt to fix the timer teardown race
in ondemand governor mixed with new locking behavior in 2.6.30-rc.
The rwlock seems to be taken around the whole call to
cpufreq_governor_dbs(), when it should be only taken around accesses to
the locked data, and especially *not* around the call to
dbs_timer_exit().
Reverting my fix attempt would put the teardown race back in place
(replacing the cancel_delayed_work_sync by cancel_delayed_work).
Instead, a proper fix would imply modifying this critical section :
cpufreq.c: __cpufreq_remove_dev()
...
if (cpufreq_driver->target)
__cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
To make sure the __cpufreq_governor() callback is not called with rwsem
held. This would allow execution of cancel_delayed_work_sync() without
being nested within the rwsem.
Applies on top of the 2.6.30-rc5 tree.
Required to remove circular dep in teardown of both conservative and
ondemande governors so they can use cancel_delayed_work_sync().
CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP does not modify the policy, therefore this locking seemed
unneeded.

This reverts commit e088e4c9cd.
Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.
Course of action:
- Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
If it isn't, we need to fix that.
- mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
- try again with the removal in six months.
It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

control value depends on it and for userspace being able to set sane

p4-clockmod has a long history of abuse. It pretends to be a CPU
frequency scaling driver, even though it doesn't actually change
the CPU frequency, but instead just modulates the frequency with
wait-states.
The biggest misconception is that when running at the lower 'frequency'
p4-clockmod is saving power. This isn't the case, as workloads running
slower take longer to complete, preventing the CPU from entering deep C states.
However p4-clockmod does have a purpose. It can prevent overheating.
Having it hooked up to the cpufreq interfaces is the wrong way to achieve
cooling however. It should instead be hooked up to ACPI.
This diff introduces a means for a cpufreq driver to register with the
cpufreq core, but not present a sysfs interface.

This leads to the following error message in case of a failing
__cpufreq_set_policy() call:
=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]

swapper/1 is trying to release lock (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)) at:
[<c01b4564>] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x30/0x40
but there are no more locks to release!
other info that might help us debug this:
