Bug#373947: powernow-k8: scaling cpu frequency not working with xen

[Randall Smith <randall@tnr.cc>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-amd64-k8
Version: 2.6.16-17
Followup-For: Bug #373947


I'm having the same problems with an AMD64 X2 processor. I tested the
patch referenced in the intial report and it did not work properly for
the X2.  I wish I had recorded more details, but what I remember is
messages saying something about losing ticks and the frequency was stuck
at the lowest setting.
