OK, seems reasonable. I'll finish up a debugfs patch that'll dump more
state transition information to give more insight.

Nah. /proc/cpuinfo won't show what we need.

Try the following:

$ grep "" /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy?/*

More specifically, the following files have the information you need.
Run watch -n1 on them.

$ grep "" /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy?/scaling_*_freq

Thanks for your help.
