So, handoff to acpi-cpufreq still has some issues. When both are
built-in, the module_init functions turn into normal initcalls and
in that case, they're executed in link order and it can happen that
powernowk8_init() runs before acpi_cpufreq_init().

Just flip the link order? It's only the way it is because in the past we 
wanted to try hardware-specific drivers before more generic ones, and I 
don't think that's a concern in this case now.

Yeah, I heard that the acpi-idle and intel-idle drivers do that and also
heard that it was a hack. It doesn't look too ugly IMHO:
