Well, well. Ok.

If you want, you can test that dummy module instead.  Nothing will
be actually touched.  You need at least a 2.6.2-rc3-mm1, or a
recent ACPI test bk tree (this module is actually an hack of a module
made by Dominik).

Create a Makefile with that line:
obj-m = test-powernow.o
then
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules
insmod ./test-powernow.ko

It will failed, but dmesg will give you the table.  You need to
have CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR enabled, though.
