Basically, my change checks for whether the processor is a Phenom or Shanghai and if it is, doubles the detected FSB speed. If it isn't, the kernel is then the same as AnV/Qoopz's. I've included the diff file in case anyone wants to use what I've done in other kernels.

The reason it doubles the FSB is that the busratio is then detected as the actual CPU multiplier set in the BIOS and not double it. This means that you are no longer capped to 3.0 GHz as a maximum CPU clock speed since the kernel has a busratio cap of 30. Now, you can be able overclock your Phenom to up to 6GHz (theoretically) and the kernel won't panic due to the cap.

I hope this benefits all you Phenom users out there!!

*EDIT*
Had to remove Shanghai support. I'll keep working on adding it and post an update when I think it'll work. I don't have one so I can't test, but when I added it to the kernel, it broke the Phenom support. When I get that fixed, I'll re-upload so people with Shanghais can test it.
thanks mang
