Hi,

maybe I found something..., can someone review/test this.

Thanks,

CPUFREQ ACPI: Only call _PPC after cpufreq ACPI init funcs got called already

Ingo Molnar provided a fix to not call _PPC at processor driver initialization 
time.
Git commit #e4233dec749a3519069d9390561b5636a75c7579

But it can still happen that _PPC is called at  processor driver 
initialization time.

This patch should make sure that this is not possible anymore.
