Remove an unnecessary check of the table's bus clock. CPUs that
support this feature export only the high/low settings via the MSR,
packed into 32 bits.

modern CPUs that have multiple VID#s that aren't detectable via public
methods. We use the control value from acpi_perf as the id16 for setting
a given frequency.
SMP systems. It appears all drivers except ichss should attach to each
CPU and that settings should be performed on each CPU. Add comments about
this. Also, add a guard for p4tcc's identify method being called more than
once.
on the previous generation of Pentium-M processors (Banias). Support for
Dothan and later processors involves working with acpi_perf(4) to extract
information about supported states. This driver should work on MP systems
including HTT. It is experimental and may have a few bugs but has been
tested to not crash at least.
Thanks to Colin Percival for his initial work on this driver.
