Subject: [PATCH 0/5] powernow-k8: Core Performance Boost and effective frequency support

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@....com>

Hi all,

here's a small patchset that implements two new performance-related
features on AMD: Core Performance Boost and Effective Frequency
reporting (APERF/MPERF). Details for each are to be found in the
respective commit messages, as Andrew requested :).

 5/5 overloads the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
interface to show the actual core frequency when boosting. Let me know
if the way it is done is agreeable.

Thanks,
Boris.
