[CPUFREQ] architectural pstate driver for powernow-k8
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.
