You can find the order using the 'modinfo' command (if you're manually 
loading all of the modules) like this:

$ modinfo ./compat/compat.ko | grep depends
depends:

However, it does look like cpufreq_cpu_put may be a separate issue.  Did 
you compile your arm CPU with cpufreq support?  This may work as a 
temporary solution, as looking in the 2.6.30 source shows that function 
is exported.
