That just says that BIOS has crappy data and we're using our own.

I'm working on a patch (see thread at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=135791578516584&w=2) that should take
care of really fixing handoff to acpi_cpufreq from powernow-k8, need to
sort out some stuff first though.

Btw, the handoff from powernow-k8 to acpi_cpufreq works on my systems,
but I haven't tested 3.7.2 so maybe we're missing some patches there.
Leonid, can you send your config pls?

Thanks.
