SRU justification:

Impact: This has been reported through AMD. There is a bug in the
frequency governor which prevents the P-states to be correctly set
(no boost).

Fix: This fix has been queued up to linux-next and will be included in
stable as well. To improve performance sooner we would be carrying this
patch as pre-stable.

Testcase: Checking CPU frequencies the boost state without the patch
will never be reached.

-Stefan
