Proposal: Fix LP: #1084262 and then unwind the fixes here.
This is a better solution than the current config fix committed for the 3.7.0-3.9 kernel build:
[Config] Enable CONFIG_X86_CPUFREQ_NFORCE2=y
The main advantage is a reduction in kernel footprint since the built-in will revert to a module which was probably the rationale for making this change in the first place. Multiple built-ins can potentially be modularised, eg the PCC cpufreq driver (see LP: #1061126) which appears to have had the same problem.
The cpufrequtils package maintainer would ideally fix this upstream (see LP: #1084262 for patch).
Fixing LP: #1084262 would resolve this bug.
