I have tested this on 2.6.32.3 to 2.6.32.5 and with 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 from 
debian/testing. Since cpufreqd 2.3.3-4:

1. current policy: frequency should be within 3.17 GHz and 3.17 GHz. instead 
of current policy: frequency should be within 2 GHz and 3.17 GHz., while 
available frequency steps: 3.17 GHz, 2.67 GHz, 2.33 GHz, 2.00 GHz and hardware 
limits: 2.00 GHz - 3.17 GHz rendering it unusable.

2. cpufreq-aperf shows weird frequencies.

3. The hardware is capable of stepping those frequencies, which can be proved 
on running cpufeq-info shortly after a fresh boot with result:
cpufreq stats: 3.17 GHz:99,84%, 2.67 GHz:0,00%, 2.33 GHz:0,00%, 2.00 GHz:0,16%

4. Changing the governer does not solve it, It looks like it is not bound to a 
particular governer.

Here is what i did.
