If domU means PV domain in your mail, there's even no ACPI table exposed
to PV domain. HVM domain has one faked by Qemu. Also the value to expose
a virtual cpufreq feature is still unclear. Some papers discuss usage as
scheduler hint or help real power, but none gets into real product yet.

Subject: [Xen-users] cpu frequency scaling in domUs

Hi,

I've recently installed xen-3.2.1 on my AMD Sempron(tm) machine.
It runs gentoo 2.6.21 as dom0 and cpu frequency scaling works in dom0.
But inside a domU, cpu frequency scaling is not working.
By checking the boot log in domU I found that domU is unable to load the powernow driver:
"powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects"
I wonder if it is possible to have cpu frequency scaling support inside domUs?
