Subject: [PATCH 27/85] CPUFREQ: powernow-k8: Try to detect old BIOS,
not supporting CPU freq on a recent AMD CPUs.
From: Thomas Renninger <trenn@...e.de>
Make use of FW_BUG interface to give vendors and users the ability to
automatically check for powernow-k8 related BIOS bugs by:
dmesg |grep "Firmware Bug"
