Bug#736112: cpufreq-applet broken on Sandy Bridge systems

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 3.4.1-4
Severity: normal
cpufreq-applet is unable to display the CPU speed on my system because
the scaling_cur_freq file does not exist. See
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTI5Mzc for details.
cpufreq-info uses the cpuinfo_cur_freq file, but for reasons that are
probably not relevant anymore it is only readable by root:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/cpufreq/msg02104.html .
This is the same issue reported in
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-applets/issues/52 .
Verified with strace:
open("/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor", O_RDONLY) = 12
read(12, "powersave\n", 4095) = 10
close(12) = 0
open("/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq", O_RDONLY) = 12
read(12, "800000\n", 4095) = 7
close(12) = 0
open("/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq", O_RDONLY) = 12
read(12, "2900000\n", 4095) = 8
close(12) = 0
open("/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/proc/sys/cpu/0/speed", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
