[PATCH 1/2 v2] intel_pstate: skip this driver if Sun server has _PPC method

[Ethan Zhao]

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.

Signed-off-by: Ethan Zhao <ethan.zhao@xxxxxxxxxx>

v2: only match ORACLE oem id.
