And since the kernel can change this then we can always get to a more optimal energy configuration w/o any firmware changes, so yes, lets make this an INFO message.

Intel IA32 program guild doesn't mention that this MSR should be set by firmare, instead, it mentions "Software can use whatever criteria it sees fit to program the MSR with the appropriate value.". Discuss with IBV (AMI), they'd like to keep this MSR as default, and let OS to change value if desired.
