Hi Dewayne,

I now think powerd/cpufreq doesn't work with AMD Turbo Boost, so it won't
work here. There's plenty of references to Powernow, but this chip
doesn't have that. I've also tried latest -current, and powerd doesn't
work there either with the default config.

thanks for trying to help anyway!
