instead of faffing about changing speeds, it could just report
the contents of /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
if present.
+1.
Or if its preferable to only have the max speed, just grab it from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq if present, and
fall back to looking in /proc/cpuinfo scaling_max_freq isn't there.
