More info:

* I was seeing the 'Dl' state of indicator-multiload when the display updating 
was stalled.
* Grabbing some stack traces with gdb, one of the threads was stuck in a read() 
call.
* Following the few stack symbols, and reading source led to update() in 
cpufreqprovider.vala.
* Experimenting (and luck?) led to the discovery that reading all the 
scaling_cur_freq files unfroze the display.
