Subject: [PATCH 5/7] CPUFREQ: powernow-k8: Always compile powernow-k8 driver with ACPI support
Date: Tue,  3 Feb 2009 17:46:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1233679606-1971-6-git-send-email-trenn@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1233679606-1971-1-git-send-email-trenn@suse.de>

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.
