This is because the "traditional" EST mechanism is currently disabled when ACPI is running, because ACPI provides the same functionality through acpicpu(4). However, you need to enable acpicpu in your kernel configuration to use it. It's currently still in development, so watch out for bumps in the road. ;) Please report any weird failures or strange error messages if you enable it.
