This reverts commit 34ae7f35a2, which has
been reported to cause a number of problems. During suspend and resume,
it apparently causes a crash in a CPU hotplug notifier to happen,
although the exact details are sketchy because of the inability to get
good traces during the suspend sequence.

for more examples and details.
[ Mark: "Revert the patch for now. I'm still looking into getting a
reliable reproduction and I do not have a fix at this time." ]

This patch provides support for the _PSD ACPI object in the Powernow-k8
driver. Although it looks like an invasive patch, most of it is
simply the consequence of turning the static acpi_performance_data
structure into a pointer.
AMD has tested it on several machines over the past few days without issue.

This patch should apply cleanly to the 2.6.23-git7 kernel. It changes the
powernow-k8 driver code that deals with 3rd generation Opteron, Phenom,
and later processors to match the architectural pstate driver described
in the AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 2 Chapter 18. The
initial implementation of the hardware pstate driver for PowerNow!
used some processor-version specific features, and would not be
maintainable in the long term as the processor features changed.
This architectural driver should work on all future AMD processors.
