Err, I still don't think I'm catching your drift but let me stop you right there: amd_nb is not there only for hwmon/k10temp. It is a small interface glue if you will, which exports the CPU functionality in PCI config space to other consumers. So it is not really a driver - it is used by drivers to talk/query CPU settings through it. With that said, I don't think I understand all that talk about PNP IDs and ACPI methods. But maybe I'm missing something... So what's up? -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
