[CPUFREQ] Missing "unregister_cpu_notifier" in powernow-k8.c
It appears that when powernow-k8 finds that
No compatible ACPI _PSS objects found.
and suggests
Try again with latest BIOS.
it fails the module load, but does not unregister the cpu_notifier that was
registered in powernowk8_init
This ends up leaving freed memory on the cpu notifier list for some other
poor module (e.g. md/raid5) to come along and trip over.
The following might be a partial fix, but I suspect there is probably other
clean-up that is needed.
( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=655215 has full dmesg traces).
