Just a follow-up to get this into the public record. I discussed this with Mark privately and then did more digging and established that in my particular case, the problem was that the BIOS was hiding the p-state table when a non-standard multiplier was used. So, I built a custom DSDT that included the p-state table along with an extra entry for my higher speed and now I've happily got powernow support again.
