The following file doesn't exists at my Gentoo Linux

That means, that a command like
$> echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice_load
in /etc/rc.local is now no longer working.
A high fan + high temperature are the result, even if just the BOINC client
is run with low prio (nice 19) in the back ground.
Manually loading the missing module won't work too :
$> modprobe acpi_cpufreq
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'acpi_cpufreq': Device or resource busy
Is the behaviour a bug or a feature ?
The thermal management problem is not an intentional outcome, definitely.
In the later case: How can I achieve the previous behaviour back ?
I spent some more time looking for a solution to this you can get same behavior
by setting a config option in BOINC "Use at most X % CPU time"
see: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Local_preferences
This issue might affect the RH EL kernel too [1] where I observed a similar
behaviour.

Dirk, is this the problem we were talking about recently or something else?
