Hi, all
        According to the document of 253369(intel), the ratio is
undefined in MSR_FBC_REGSITER_ID. The following calculation is
inappropriate.
if (c->x86_model < 2)
        mult = msr_lo >> 27;

There are two ways to fix this problem.
a. use the following patch. the ratio is obtained from model string.
b. revert the commit until the proper patch is available.

Subject: ACPI :Obtain FSB ratio from model string when model is less than 2
>From : Zhao Yakui <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The ratio is undefined in the register of MSR_FBC_REGSITER_ID 
when the model for P4 is less than 2. The following calculation is 
inappropriate.
if (c->x86_model < 2)
        mult = msr_lo >> 27;
In order to support the speedstep , the FSb ratio can be obtained from 
the model_id string. 
For example:
The ratio is 13 for model string:"Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1300MHz"
