I guess you mean the cpufreq driver ->get callback.
No, intel_pstate doesn't implement it, because it cannot reliably
return the current CPU frequency.

No, it can't, if intel_pstate is the driver, but what's the problem?
This function is only called in one place in the kernel and not on x8
even.

You can compute the average frequency over an interval, but ->get is
expected to return the actual current frequency at the time call time.

No kidding.

Again, what problem exactly does this address?
