I have tried and I retried the instructions on that page. Unfortunately
I still cannot get power management to work. Xen 3.4.1 has cpuidle and
cpufreq=xen enabled by default. I have not set any boot parameters to
Xen (but I also tried "cpufreq=xen cpuidle"), so power management should
be enabled. I'm not sure how I can tell whether power management is or
not. At least xenpm doesn't work, so I'm assuming neither is power
management. Power management works with the standard Debian Etch kernel
using the powernow_k8 module so power management works in general, it
just does not work in Xen.

xenpm get-cpuidle-states reports max c-state c7 but strangely only lists
c0 and c1:
Max C-state: C7

cpu id               : 0
total C-states       : 2
idle time(ms)        : 1962951
C0                   : transition [00000000000000439633]
                       residency  [00000000000000150633 ms]
C1                   : transition [00000000000000439633]
                       residency  [00000000000001959380 ms]

xenpm get-cpuidle-states outputs nothing at all and trying to set a
governor results in
[CPU0] failed to set governor name.

I also don't see any c-state related output in xm dmesg. Here's the full
output:
