[PATCH 1/2 v3] intel_pstate: skip this driver if Sun server has _PPC method

From: Ethan Zhao
Date: Tue Nov 25 2014 - 00:00:38 EST


Oracle Sun X86 servers have dynamic power capping capability that works via
ACPI _PPC method etc, so skip loading this driver if Sun server has ACPI _PPC
enabled.

v2: fix break HP Proliant issue.
v3: expand the hardware vendor list.
