Reviving this thread a bit.  My AMD FX-8150 and Intel I7 seem to be
happy with this patch.  

I guess, from my read, this is getting rid of some hard coded
definitions for cpu throttling and doing a better job of reading from
the ACPI throttling states (new data structure).

If there's no objections, I'll bite the bullet and commit it.
