This patch should apply cleanly to the 2.6.23-git7 kernel.  It changes the
powernow-k8 driver code that deals with 3rd generation Opteron, Phenom,
and later processors to match the architectural pstate driver described
in the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2 Chapter 18.  The
initial implementation of the hardware pstate driver for PowerNow!
used some processor-version specific features, and would not be
maintainable in the long term as the processor features changed.
This architectural driver should work on all future AMD processors.
