The claim that "That cpufreq driver fails gracefully on other (non IBM, OPAL) powerpc platforms that don't have the expected files in the device-tree" seems to imply it should be perfectly harmless on pre-power8 platforms. Of course, I'll put it through its paces on a couple such machines to make sure anyway. :P
