Wait a minute ... having a suspend/resume method in cpufreq is one thing, having it muck around with SMP is another :-) The ppc code doesn't do that. There's nothing fundamentally "fail" in requiring a switch to a given frequency before suspend. I don't know what kind of major FAIL the K8 code is doing here though :-) I'm happy instead of #ifdef's however to push the logic into the ppc driver, or use a flag that the ppc driver sets to enable that logic.
