>From reading the code, my understanding is that powernow-k8 uses
preempt_disable to ensure that driver->target doesn't migrate across cpus
whilst it's accessing per processor registers, however set_cpus_allowed
will provide this for us. Additionally, remove schedule() calls from
set_cpus_allowed as set_cpus_allowed ensures that you're executing on the
target processor on return.
