I don't know if this is helpful but I made the changes below to /usr/share/powernowd/cpufreq-detect.sh to get powernowd to load the right module for the newish VIA C7 processor. It should also fix the 'unexpected operator' bug (at $CPU_FAMILY == 6), which has kept the script from loading the longhaul module.
