a8eb28480e [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Fix indexing issue
The driver uses the pstate number from the status register as index in
its table of ACPI pstates (powernow_table). This is wrong as this is
not a 1-to-1 mapping.

For example we can have _PSS information to just utilize Pstate 0 and
Pstate 4, ie.

  powernow-k8: Core Performance Boosting: on.
  powernow-k8:    0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
  powernow-k8:    1 : pstate 4 (1400 MHz)

In this example the driver's powernow_table has just 2 entries. Using
the pstate number (4) as index into this table is just plain wrong.

201bf0f129 [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Avoid Pstate MSR accesses on systems supporting CPB
Due to CPB we can't directly map SW Pstates to Pstate MSRs. Get rid of
the paranoia check. (assuming that the ACPI Pstate information is
correct.)

fbb5b89eab [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Don't try to transition if the pstate is incorrect
This patch augments the pstate transition code to error out
(instead of returning 0) when an incorrect pstate is provided.

a9d3d20680 [CPUFREQ] powernow-k8: Don't notify of successful transition if we failed (vid case).
Before this patch if we failed the vid transition would still try to
submit the "new" frequencies to cpufreq.
That is incorrect - also we could submit a non-existing frequency value
which would cause cpufreq to crash. The ultimate fix is in cpufreq
to deal with incorrect values, but this patch improves the error
recovery in the AMD powernowk8 driver.

The failure that was reported was as follows:

powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3700+ (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: fid 0x2 (1000 MHz), vid 0x12
powernow-k8: fid 0xa (1800 MHz), vid 0xa
powernow-k8: fid 0xc (2000 MHz), vid 0x8
powernow-k8: fid 0xe (2200 MHz), vid 0x8
Marking TSC unstable due to cpufreq changes
powernow-k8: fid trans failed, fid 0x2, curr 0x0
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880807e07b78
IP: [<ffffffff81479163>] cpufreq_stats_update+0x46/0x5b
...

And transition fails and data->currfid ends up with 0. Since
the machine does not support 800Mhz value when the calculation is
done ('find_khz_freq_from_fid(data->currfid);') it reports the
new frequency as 800000 which is bogus. This patch fixes
the issue during target setting.

The patch however does not fix the issue in 'powernowk8_cpu_init'
where the pol->cur can also be set with the 800000 value:

          pol->cur = find_khz_freq_from_fid(data->currfid);
  dprintk("policy current frequency %d kHz\n", pol->cur);

  /* min/max the cpu is capable of */
  if (cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(pol, data->powernow_table)) {

The fix for that looks to update cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo to
check pol->cur.... but that would cause an regression in how the
acpi-cpufreq driver works (it sets cpu->cur after calling
cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo). Instead the fix will be to let
cpufreq gracefully handle bogus data (another patch).
