Ooops. I forgot about that interface. Ignore this patch.

You are incorrect in saying it's _just_ the CPU core frequency. This is
the ring and IA frequency on SNB + IVB. The frequency is tied to the CPU
core on SNB + IVB. It is not tied to the cpu core on Haswell.

To make the print more generic, and correct across the board it makes
sense to say we're setting the ring frequency (to me). Even the
programming guides typically call this, "IA/ring" frequency.

Above is only for posterity. Again, forget the patch.
