acpi-cpufreq: Add support for modern AMD CPUs

The programming model for P-states on modern AMD CPUs is very similar to
that of Intel and VIA. It makes sense to consolidate this support into one
driver rather than duplicating functionality between two of them. This
patch adds support for AMDs with hardware P-state control to acpi-cpufreq.

This driver adds a CPUFreq driver which utilizes the ACPI
Processor Performance States.
This driver also supports Intel Enhanced Speedstep.
This driver also supports Intel Enhanced Speedstep and newer
AMD CPUs.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called acpi-cpufreq.
