Re: [Xen-devel] Powernow-k8 support

One thing I'm a bit undecided on is whether MSR emulation is the right

could then have a paravirtual cpufreq driver added to Linux. This has
the advantage that we have less new per-cpu-type code to maintain in
Xen
(we can more easily sync with cpufreq changes in Linux) but it does
mean
we change more Linux code and we'd want to be a bit careful not to
make
the hypercall interface too Linux specific (or too x86 specific).
Has this something to do with the private mail I sent to Keir Fraser?
I told him that the powernow-k8 support in dom0 seems to work, while in
domUs not. Second was that the shown Bogomips under /proc/cpuinfo never
changes from ~4000, even when the CPU was @ 800.
That's a quite separate issue. The 'stale' frequency info in domU is
harmless.
