2.4 patch and powernow-k8

[omv <omv@danhartman.org>]

I've been trying to patch cpufreq into a recent 2.4 kernel and having 
some problems.  When I've config'ed powernow-k8 to be static linked, I 
get the below errors.  Compiling as a module works, but yields 
unresolvable symbols when trying to load the module.

The speedstep-centrino seems to build fine (though I can't test it on my 
laptop), and I'm guessing there is a build issue in which symbols are 
exported.  However, I don't actually understand the build process enough 
to make any headway...

BTW:  I've tried on kernels 2.4.25 -> 2.4.28, and tried a couple 
different snapshots from ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/cpufreq/ as 
well as the latest stuff in the cvs repository.

Any help would be appreciated,
