Yep, it is. I'm running with it for a couple of hours already and no
issues.

Btw, we'd normally investigate why powernow-k8 b0rkage appears now
but after the next merge window, that functionality is moving to
acpi-cpufreq so powernow-k8 should really be only for K8s then.

We'll see how that whole thing pans out as late as 3.7-rc cycle.

Thanks.
