Should I (as the powernow-k8 maintainer) be modifying this

but the new 2.00.00 driver uses different MSRs, and there
are other things coming up that will confuse things.
One thing I'm a bit undecided on is whether MSR emulation is the right
way to go, or whether we should just pull the low-level cpufreq drivers
verbatim into Xen and then provide access to them via hypercalls. We
could then have a paravirtual cpufreq driver added to Linux. This has
the advantage that we have less new per-cpu-type code to maintain in
Xen (we can more easily sync with cpufreq changes in Linux) but it does
mean we change more Linux code and we'd want to be a bit careful not to
make the hypercall interface too Linux specific (or too x86 specific).
