Not surprising. /etc/rc.d/init.d/cpuspeed explicitly checks if there is
a driver loaded (in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver)
and quits without an error message if it can't find one.

After all, it's not really an *error* that your CPU or kernel doesn't
support speed changes.

And a guest OS has no business changing the CPU speed, since that will
also affect the host OS. And only the host OS is in a position to see
whether the CPU has little enough work that it's practical to scale back
the CPU speed.
