When the PST tables are broken, powernow-k7 uses ACPI's processor_perflib to
deduce the available frequency multipliers from the _PSS tables.
Upon frequency change, processor_perflib performs some verification on the
frequency (checks that it's within allowable bounds).
powernow-k7 deals with absolute frequencies in KHz, whereas perflib only
deals with MHz values. When performing the above verification, perflib
multiplies the MHz values by 1000 to obtain the KHz value.
We then end up with situations like the following:
- powernow-k7 multiplies the multiplier by the FSB, and obtains a value
such as 1266768 KHz
- perflib belives the same state has frequency of 1266 MHz
- acpi_processor_ppc_notifier calls cpufreq_verify_within_limits to verify
that 1266768 is in the allowable range of 0 to 1266000 (i.e. 1266 * 1000)
- it's not, so that frequency is rejected
- the maximum CPU frequency is not reachable
This patch solves the problem by rounding up the MHz values stored in perflib's
tables. Additionally it corrects a broken URL.
It also fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8255 although this
case is a bit different: the frequencies in the _PSS tables are wildly wrong,
but we get better results if we force ACPI to respect the fsb * multiplier
calculations (even though it seems that the multiplier values aren't entirely
correct either).

This reverts commit aeeddc1435c37fa3fc844f31d39c185b08de4158, which was
half-baked and broken. It just resulted in compile errors, since
cpufreq_register_driver() still changes the 'driver_data' by setting
bits in the flags field. So claiming it is 'const' _really_ doesn't
work.

Not all cases are possible due to ->flags being set at runtime
on some drivers.

Even though powernow-k7 doesn't work in SMP environments,
it can work on an SMP configured kernel if there's only
one CPU present, however recalibrate_cpu_khz was returning
-EINVAL on such kernels, so we failed to init the cpufreq driver.

This shouldn't have actually caused any problems
(as we return if we 'corrupt' 'i', but it's still not
very pretty. For the sake of adding another local variable,
this got cleaner.

We have to recalibrate cpu_khz in order to use the current FID instead the max
FID since some BIOS do not put the processor at maximum frequency at POST.
Also, some BIOS will change the processor frequency at our back after cpu_khz
was calibrate. Finally, this will fix a long standing bug when we do
something like this:
# rmmod powernow-k7
# modprobe powernow-k7

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
