Description of problem:
I see that the powernow-k8 module is not enabled in the prebuilt
kernels.  Is it safe to enable that yet?  Especially in the 64-bit
kernel?  I see that it's undergoing heavy revision in the 2.6.6 tree
(Fedora Devel is 2.6.5 at the moment) so I suspect that's why it's not
enabled but it'd be really nice to have. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. powernow-k8 not enabled
2. No power management
3. I like power management

CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=y in the x86_64 kernel
It's disabled in the 32bit kernels, mostly due to lack of testing.
