Subject: acpi: check _PSS invalidation when BIOS report _PSS with 0x80000000
From: youquan_song@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When cpu frequencey scaling is disabled, some BIOSes report _PSS with all
0x80000000. If the kernel treats this case as valid, the kernel will boot
crash when load cpufreq govenors.
So in order to cover more buggy BIOSs, the patch just check _PSS core
frequency invalidation.
