Hmm, why do I get thanked?  Sure I made a few comments after a quick
glance at the code but you ignored them apparently.

I expect this to break on EM64T, but I told you that already...

Also, why didn't you try adding support for that on i386, too?  I
haven't seen anything in the spec that restricts Cool'n'Quiet to long
mode.  And I still feel bitmask_snprintf would be more suitable than
your own equivalent.

Some other comments:

 - k8_powernow_setperf could return meaningful errors (e.g., EBUSY in
   the PN8_STA_PENDING(status) case), which would then be returned by
   the sysctl handler

 - you don't free freq_names if k8pnow_current_state is NULL (what if
   the PSB doesn't list the current state?  you know vendors...  I
   certainly expect one to ship a laptop with a broken PSB but a correct
   ACPI table)

 - the spec indicates that FID and VID changes of a dual-core processor
   must me co-ordinated.

Glad I could help.  Please have your code reviewed on tech-kern before
you commit.
