     Hi, could you please try the following patch:
     
     http://www.xtrarom.org/patches/powernowk8.diff
 
 
 hmm, this seems wrong.  the current code also seems
 wrong..it appears to want to run on the attaching cpu
 since it does things like:
 
 	status = rdmsr(MSR_AMDK7_FIDVID_STATUS);
 
 i think the right answer would be to have this code run
 when the cpu is fired up in i386/i386/cpu.c:cpu_hatch()
 after CPUF_GO is set (same in amd64/amd64/cpu.c.)
