Subject[PATCH 3/3] intel_pstate: add module and kernel command line parameter to ignore ACPI _PPC
Date
Add kernel command line parameter
intel_pstate = ignore_acpi_ppc
and module parameter
ignore_acpi_ppc = 1
to allow driver to ignore the ACPI _PPC existence even for Sun x86 servers.
These parameter could be used for debug\test\workaround etc purpose.
