So.. if I want to help, I need to apply the diff to a source tree, is that correct? Do I need -current or 3.4 -stable?

Is powernow dependant on mainboard support?
And would this actually make a difference as to how much power a machine uses in a desktop system?

I've got a home nat/pf system using a k6-2 500, based on the MVP chipset from VIA. It doesn't do anything else but sit there, so I'd like to help in any way that I can. I think it has a Feb 2004 -current snapshot of some kind. I'm not much of a coder, but I am willing to play with the system and see what I come up with.

  you need current. it's only dependent on cpu, which may be only mobile units. it's models 12 and 13, which i guess are k6-2+ and k6-3, but i don't really know how amd marketed them.
  
  if you install and reboot, and there's no hw.setperf sysctl, you're not supported. if there is, play with it.
