Thanks for addressing this issue so quickly!

I can confirm that with this patch applied I no longer receive
kernel: acpi-cpufreq: probe of acpi-cpufreq failed with error -17
at boot. Additionally, modprobe acpi-cpufreq now produces
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'acpi_cpufreq': No such device
rather than silently failing (without --first-time) to load the
module as it did before, which seems good to me.

Cheers,
