Hello all,

I finally got the powernow working after countless hours. And CPU runs fullspeed
after power up!

The patch changes the LDTSTOP length as well mostly default content of 0xec,
0xe4 and 0xe5 registers. I'm suspecting that the documentation may be wrong.

Furthermore this fix for powernow may not work on CPUs hit by errata #181.
Workaround should be implemented. The powernow may not work on pre-A2 revisions
of VT8237S silicon, revision reg is unknown.

Thanks,
Rudolf
