It tells all about the unsupported address space 127. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=acpi4linux&m=104022580902620&w=2 Incidentally I didn't know the existence of CpuFreq project when I made the above statement. Dominik, if BIOS tells OS via ACPI _PCT to access FFH to initiate FID/VID change (in AMD PowerNow!), how current code coordinates it? I'm going to look into code soon, but I'd appreciate very much if you give me some insight in advance.
