Hi Stephen, 

I'm very confused. I don't see this..

(22:22:25:davej:cpufreq)$ make arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/powernow-k8.o
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
  SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CC [M]  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/powernow-k8.o
(22:22:30:davej:cpufreq)$ 

Also, line 1001 is ..

	if (data->acpi_data.state_count)

So I'm not sure what your gcc is talking about.

Does next contain additional patches to this file from outside the cpufreq.git tree?

	Dave
