  Title: Backport AMD X6 TurboCore fix from kernel 2.6.35 to opensuse
  11.3
   
  openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed
  Priority
      Requester: Mandatory
   
  Requested by: jimbo bigcreed (dimble_thricefoon)
   
Description:
  I am presuming that opensuse 11.3 will be fixed at kernel version
  2.6.34, which contains poor/buggy support for the TurboCore features of
  the new AMD X6 processors.
  It would be a great shame to have the eight month "top-shelf" life of
  opensuse 11.3 marred by lack of support for an enthusiast class feature
  of their hardware. If you have purchased a new computer you don't want
  to find-out that running the newest release of opensuse will lose an
  aggregate of 1500MHz of performance. This bug has been fixed in the
  2.6.35 kernel:

  I would very much like the opensuse kernel team to ensure that the fix is
  backported into the kernel due to be used in 11.3. I appreciate this
  may already have happened, so considere this a heads-up. :)
  Kind regards

  I agree, and I would even like to see it backported to 11.2.
  The Phenom X6 is very popular already and is selling so well it is on
  backorder at most outlets. (yes i have one :) )

  I personnally would be very interrested by this one also on 11.2,
  (11.1?)
