Subject: [patch 86/86] [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Fix indexing issue

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@....com>

commit a8eb28480e9b637cc78b9aa5e08612ba97e1317a upstream.

The driver uses the pstate number from the status register as index in
its table of ACPI pstates (powernow_table). This is wrong as this is
not a 1-to-1 mapping.

For example we can have _PSS information to just utilize Pstate 0 and
Pstate 4, ie.

  powernow-k8: Core Performance Boosting: on.
  powernow-k8:    0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    1 : pstate 4 (1400 MHz)

In this example the driver's powernow_table has just 2 entries. Using
the pstate number (4) as index into this table is just plain wrong.
