I also saw this exact same thing after the upgrade, but I think it is a udev
issue, not a kernel one.  Do a "lsmod | grep cpu".  I had the acpi-cpufreq
module being loaded by udev prior to my loading the speedstep-centrino
module in my rc.conf modules array.  Since one cpu frequency module is
already loaded, the "device or resource busy" error is thrown.

My system was less responsive with the acpi-cpufreq module - scrolling in vim
was jerky, for instance.  Blacklisting all modules in
/lib/modules/2.6.15-ARCH/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq except for the
speedstep-centrino module forces udev to load the correct module, but it
feels like a hack.
