Subject: acpi_processor_ppc_notifier(): correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method
From: Dave Jones <davej@xxxxxxxxxx>
processor_perflib.c::acpi_processor_ppc_notifier() check if the value
returned by the processor's _PPC method is 0 and return failed if so. This
is wrong since 0 indicate that the bios think the processor can go to the
highest frequency. This patch for example fix the HP NX 6125 to allow its
highest frequency to be available.
