Doh! Of course I meant 'x86, intel, power: Initialize 
MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS'. Anyways, patch applied and pushed with 
Stefan's ack.

Patch

From fccdf41f8b3748e3808a2e52fe35f78fd75cfcc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 17:37:15 -0400
Subject: [PATCH] x86, intel, power: Correct the MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS message

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829566

Fix the printk_once() so that it actually prints (didn't print before
due to a stray comma.)

[ hpa: changed to an incremental patch and adjusted the description
  accordingly. ]
