athlon64 cool&quiet / powernow-k8

Apparenty some athlon64 motherboards (asus/msi/gigabyte) support
cool&quiet - and powernow-k8 appears to be the driver in linux for
this.

The last I checked - this appears to be disabled in kernel options
(i686 kernel)
$ cat /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.326/build/include/config/x86/powernow/k8.h
#undef CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8

Any word on supporting this in Fedora (1 or 2) (686 or x86_64)
kernels?  I don't have athlon64 machine - but curious about Fedora
support for this feature..

Thanks,
Satish
