ACPI: CPPC: Disable FIE if registers in PCC regions
PCC regions utilize a mailbox to set/retrieve register values used by the CPPC code. This is fine as long as the operations are infrequent. With the FIE code enabled though the overhead can range from 2-11% of system CPU overhead (ex: as measured by top) on Arm based machines. So, before enabling FIE assure none of the registers used by cppc_get_perf_ctrs() are in the PCC region. Finally, add a module parameter which can override the PCC region detection at boot or module reload.
