cpufreq: intel_pstate: Request P-states control from SMM if needed
Currently, intel_pstate is unable to control P-states on my
IvyBridge-based Acer Aspire S5, because they are controlled by SMM
on that machine by default and it is necessary to request OS control
of P-states from it via the SMI Command register exposed in the ACPI
FADT. intel_pstate doesn't do that now, but acpi-cpufreq and other
cpufreq drivers for x86 platforms do.
Address this problem by making intel_pstate use the ACPI-defined
mechanism as well. However, intel_pstate is not modular and it
doesn't need the module refcount tricks played by
acpi_processor_notify_smm(), so export the core of this function
to it as acpi_processor_pstate_control() and make it call that.
[The changes in processor_perflib.c related to this should not
make any functional difference for the acpi_processor_notify_smm()
users].
To be safe, only call acpi_processor_notify_smm() from intel_pstate
if ACPI _PPC support is enabled in it.
