Thanks to send the patch on fam15h_power driver. :-)
In latest AMD (family 15h, Model 60h) processor, ApmTdpLimit field is
expanded to [32:16]. The orignal reserved bits actually are reserved
for ApmTdpLimit expansion.

Guenter, Will I collect all patches of fam15h_power and send them to
you, or ack it that you can apply directly?

Thanks,
Rui
