ACPI: Split out ACPI PSS from ACPI Processor driver The ACPI processor driver is currently tied too closely to the ACPI P-states (PSS) and other related constructs for controlling CPU performance. The newer ACPI specification (v5.1 onwards) introduces alternative methods to PSS. These new mechanisms are described within each ACPI Processor object and so they need to be scanned whenever a new Processor object is detected. This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol to allow for finer configurability among the two options for controlling performance states. There is no change in functionality and the option is auto-selected by the architectures which support it. A future commit will introduce support for CPPC: A newer method of controlling CPU performance. The OS is not expected to support CPPC and PSS at the same time, so the Kconfig option lets us make the two mutually exclusive at compile time.
