RELAXED_CAP_CHECK on T20
On a Thinkpad T20 using Debian unstable and a stock kernel.org kernel 2.6.11.6, building the kernel with CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_RELAXED_CAP_CHECK=y doesn't seem to show the error you're experiencing while loading speedstep-smi. So that means loading speedstep-smi module results to no error at all.
