You might try your luck in some of the linux mailing lists.
As long as only the cpufreq is requested this should not
be so hard to implement - basically taking the old
speedstep-centrino.c driver and dig the correct values
of the frequency/voltage table from the CPU manual.

If you find out how to contact this guy

who tried this with another processor 3 years ago, maybe
he is able to give some hints.
