I've checked 2.6.17 and up and it happens too.

Some .config peculiarities:

	CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
	CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y
	CONFIG_X86_P4_CLOCKMOD=m

After modprobe/rmmod cpufreq/stats directory appears but doesn't get
removed. Should it?

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq $ ls -lR
.:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2007-03-20 12:59 stats

./stats:
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-03-20 12:59 time_in_state
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2007-03-20 12:59 total_trans
