+	  The powernow-k8 driver used to provide a sysfs knob called "cpb"
+	  to disable the Core Performance Boosting feature of AMD CPUs. This
+	  file has now been superseeded by the more generic "boost" entry.
+
+	  By enabling this option the acpi_cpufreq driver provides the old
+	  entry in addition to the new boost ones, for compatibility reasons.
