Subject: [PATCH 5/7] CPUFREQ: powernow-k8: Always compile powernow-k8 driver with ACPI support
powernow-k8 driver should always try to get cpufreq info from ACPI.
Otherwise it will not be able to detect the transition latency correctly
which results in ondemand governor taking a wrong sampling rate which will
then result in sever performance loss.
Let the user not shoot himself in the foot and always compile in ACPI
support for powernow-k8.
This also fixes a wrong message if ACPI_PROCESSOR is compiled as a module and
#ifndef CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR
path is chosen.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
