Subject: [PATCH 054/353] cpufreq: drop K8's driver from beeing selected
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=69b2bc87d938e2f7c48cfae26f1bde516298648f

Ralf posted a picture of a backtrace from

| powernowk8_target_fn() -> transition_frequency_fidvid() and then at the
| end:
| 932         policy = cpufreq_cpu_get(smp_processor_id());
| 933         cpufreq_cpu_put(policy);

crashing the system on -RT. I assumed that policy was a NULL pointer but
was rulled out. Since Ralf can't do any more investigations on this and
I have no machine with this, I simply switch it off.

 	  This adds the CPUFreq driver for K8/early Opteron/Athlon64 processors.
 	  Support for K10 and newer processors is now in acpi-cpufreq.
