[CPUFREQ] Merge ACPI perflib.
Use ACPI _PSS data to determine valid frequency and voltage pairs on Enhanced SpeedStep-capable processors. An original form of such ACPI-PentiumM-cpufreq interaction was sent to the cpufreq list by David Moore in June last year; the attached patch utilizes his code to set _PDC. The new ACPI "P-States library" is utilized to obtain the correct frequency and MSR value pairs for the speedstep-centrino driver. Only if no such proper table exists (!CONFIG_ACPI, broken ACPI tables, etc.), fall back to the existing hard-coded table. If anyone has a better idea for the Kconfig section, please tell me so. This version of this patch has proper acpi_state setting included, and also has a hint in the banner of the centrino_cpu_init_acpi() function, as Jeremey Fitzhardinge suggested.
