Maybe you want to give a hint in the p states driver help text?

I think a hint is the right thing to do, but in the PowerNow! driver
rather than the p states one. How about adding something like this to
the X86_POWERNOW_K8 (and X86_POWERNOW_K7?) help text:

Please hold off this patch until we've gained a more complete
understanding of the issues and workarounds (which will probably lead to
us writing a better patch anyway)

I agree - the issue is more complicated that I had thought. I received
an off list message saying that this dependency isn't required on a
single-socket Athlon X2 system. So it sounds like isn't an SMP setup
issue as much as it is a multi-socket or perhaps just an issue with my
vendor (Tyan).
