The "30% increase" part was an unrelated bug (i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 brings power consumption back to normal), for those who were wondering. :)
Old userspace automatically loading the wrong cpufreq drivers still does not seem great to me, though I don't have any great ideas about how to prevent that (a separate drivers/cpufreq-drivers/ directory does not sound too appealing). I guess I'd be most interested in how to fix (1) first.
Thanks, Jonathan
