AMD Turion64 X2 works with PowerNow! thank you Bruno

[Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri]

Hello AMD users ;)

In regard to my post about AMD hangs with PowerNow! in my Acer Laptop
which has http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.mobile/browse_frm/thread/49b02729f7d8b27e/d36307d211e914c5#d36307d211e914c5

I have been working with Mr. Bruno for few days, and finally PowerNow!
works with no hanging issues at all, I used the new powernow.c
provided by Bruno attached.

So I wish this could be backported to RELENG_6 asap, and yes I tested
it in FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE only, not with current.

  Modified files:
    sys/i386/cpufreq     powernow.c
  Log:
  o introduce a flags 'errata' for HW bugs onto the softc.
  o remove errata_a0 and introduce the corresponding flags into 'errata'.
  o introduce a new errata for K8, namely some platform might set the
    PENDING_BIT but aren't able to unset it, also don't loop forever
    waiting PENDING_BIT being cleared.
  o try to introduce a workaround for the PENDING_BIT stuck problem,
  o support now half multipliers for K8.
