xen/acpi-processor: C and P-state driver that uploads said data to hypervisor.

This driver solves three problems:
 1). Parse and upload ACPI0007 (or PROCESSOR_TYPE) information to the
     hypervisor - aka P-states (cpufreq data).
 2). Upload the the Cx state information (cpuidle data).
 3). Inhibit CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading.

The reason for wanting to solve 1) and 2) is such that the Xen hypervisor
is the only one that knows the CPU usage of different guests and can
make the proper decision of when to put CPUs and packages in proper states.
Unfortunately the hypervisor has no support to parse ACPI DSDT tables, hence it
needs help from the initial domain to provide this information. The reason
for 3) is that we do not want the initial domain to change P-states while the
hypervisor is doing it as well - it causes rather some funny cases of P-states
transitions.

For this to work, the driver parses the Power Management data and uploads said
information to the Xen hypervisor. It also calls acpi_processor_notify_smm()
to inhibit the other CPU frequency scaling drivers from being loaded.

Everything revolves around the 'struct acpi_processor' structure which
gets updated during the bootup cycle in different stages. At the startup, when
the ACPI parser starts, the C-state information is processed (processor_idle)
and saved in said structure as 'power' element. Later on, the CPU frequency
scaling driver (powernow-k8 or acpi_cpufreq), would call the the
acpi_processor_* (processor_perflib functions) to parse P-states information
and populate in the said structure the 'performance' element.

Since we do not want the CPU frequency scaling drivers from loading
we have to call the acpi_processor_* functions to parse the P-states and
call "acpi_processor_notify_smm" to stop them from loading.

There is also one oddity in this driver which is that under Xen, the
physical online CPU count can be different from the virtual online CPU count.
Meaning that the macros 'for_[online|possible]_cpu' would process only
up to virtual online CPU count. We on the other hand want to process
the full amount of physical CPUs. For that, the driver checks if the ACPI IDs
count is different from the APIC ID count - which can happen if the user
choose to use dom0_max_vcpu argument. In such a case a backup of the PM
structure is used and uploaded to the hypervisor.

[v1-v2: Initial RFC implementations that were posted]
[v3: Changed the name to passthru suggested by Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@iki.fi>]
[v4: Added vCPU != pCPU support - aka dom0_max_vcpus support]
[v5: Cleaned up the driver, fix bug under Athlon XP]
[v6: Changed the driver to a CPU frequency governor]
[v7: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> suggestion to make it a cpufreq scaling driver
     made me rework it as driver that inhibits cpufreq scaling driver]
[v8: Per Jan's review comments, fixed up the driver]
[v9: Allow to continue even if acpi_processor_preregister_perf.. fails]
