[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#740265: libvirt-bin: virsh nodeinfo shows wrong cpu frequency

[Adrian N.]

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.8.3-5+squeeze5
Severity: normal

I noticed that in the ouptup of virsh nodeinfo command, the cpu frequency is
1600 MHz when the real value is 2930 MHz.
The host and guests report the frequency correctly, as 2.93 GHz.

Here is the output of the command:

CPU model:           x86_64
CPU(s):              12
CPU frequency:       1600 MHz
CPU socket(s):       2
Core(s) per socket:  6
Thread(s) per core:  1
NUMA cell(s):        1
Memory size:         49558292 kB

The node hw configuration:

Supermicro X8DTT-(F)/IBX(F)/IBQ(F), ver 2.0c
2x Intel Xeon X5670 @ 2.93 GHz (cpuid 206C2)
12x4 GB RAM 1333MHz
