I figured it out!  I took a clue from my /var/log/dmesg

[    4.633657] [Firmware Bug]: BIOS needs update for CPU frequency support
[    4.633718] ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 20 at AML address
ffff88012d27c633 offset 4F, ignoring [20080926]
[    4.633722] ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 6F at AML address
ffff88012d27c638 offset 54, ignoring [20080926]
[    4.633726] ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 20 at AML address
ffff88012d27c63c offset 58, ignoring [20080926]
[    4.633729] ACPI Error (psloop-0136): Found unknown opcode 6F at AML address
ffff88012d27c640 offset 5C, ignoring [20080926]

That line that reads, "Firmware Bug: BIOS needs update for CPU frequency
support" was really bugging me.  So I took a risk, d/l'ed the latest BIOS for
my board, flashed, reset all my custom BIOS settings, and rebooted into my new
kernel.  I'm now able to use acpi-cpufreq and scaling works smoothly :)

I think you can safely close this ticket and pass on the information to folks
experiencing this same symptom: flash your BIOS!
