cpufreq: Add warning message to powernow-k8
cpufreq modules are often loaded from init scripts that assume that all recent AMD systems will use powernow-k8. To inform the user of the change of support and ease the transition to acpi-cpufreq, emit a warning message. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

- This adds the CPUFreq driver for K8/K10 Opteron/Athlon64 processors.
+ This adds the CPUFreq driver for K8/early Opteron/Athlon64 processors.
+ Support for K10 and newer processors is now in acpi-cpufreq.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called powernow-k8.
