What does 'sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq_levels' report? It should list the
available CPU frequencies.

I get:
dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 397/-1 198/-1

Is this something I should be reporting to stable? It's not explicitly
mentioned in the hardware notes so I'm not sure if my processor is
actually supported in 6.2. Is it possible that I've been shipped the
wrong processor? If so, how would I be able to tell short of ripping
off the giant heatsink and looking?

Have a look at the dmesg output with 'dmesg |head -n 24'. There should
be some info about the CPU in there. Post those lines here.

And have a look at the bios. It could have some settings to regulate the
CPU speed.

Or maybe a related setting like FSB speed (if the Via C7 is like other processors in basing its speed off that).
