[PATCH] powernow-k8: depend on acpi-processor for SMP systems

From: Daniel Drake
Date: Wed May 16 2007 - 19:56:19 EST


powernow-k8 uses PSB BIOS tables to read frequency info on UP systems, but
on SMP it requires the acpi-processor driver. Kconfig should be updated
accordingly to avoid the issues that users are running into.
