Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] Disable FIE on machines with slow counters

FIE assumes the delivered/relative perf registers are fast to read so
it goes ahead and hits them quite frequently. On a couple Arm
platforms though they end up in PCC regions which require mailbox
handshaking with other parts of the platform.

This results in a lot of overhead in the cppc_fie task. As such lets
runtime disable FIE if we detect it enabled on one of those platforms.
Also allow the user to manually disable it via a module parameter.

v1->v2:
	Apply Rafael's review comments.
	Move the MODULE_PARAM into the ifdef
	Fix compiler warning when ACPI_CPPC_LIB is disabled.
