[CPUFREQ][4/8] acpi-cpufreq: Mark speedstep-centrino ACPI as deprecated

Browse Source 
Mark ACPI hooks in speedstep-centrino as deprecated. Change the order in which
speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq (when both are in kernel) will be
added. First driver to be tried is now acpi-cpufreq, followed by
speedstep-centrino.

Add a note in feature-removal-schedule to mark this deprecation.

Who: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
---------------------------
What: ACPI hooks (X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI) in speedstep-centrino driver
When: December 2006
Why: Speedstep-centrino driver with ACPI hooks and acpi-cpufreq driver are
functionally very much similar. They talk to ACPI in same way. Only
difference between them is the way they do frequency transitions.
One uses MSRs and the other one uses IO ports. Functionaliy of
speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks is now merged into acpi-cpufreq.
That means one common driver will support all Intel Enhanced Speedstep
capable CPUs. That means less confusion over name of
speedstep-centrino driver (with that driver supposed to be used on
non-centrino platforms). That means less duplication of code and
less maintenance effort and no possibility of these two drivers
going out of sync.
Current users of speedstep_centrino with ACPI hooks are requested to
switch over to acpi-cpufreq driver. speedstep-centrino will continue
to work using older non-ACPI static table based scheme even after this
date.

This is deprecated and this functionality is now merged into
acpi_cpufreq (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ). Use that driver instead of
speedstep_centrino.
Use primarily the information provided in the BIOS ACPI tables
to determine valid CPU frequency and voltage pairings. It is
required for the driver to work on non-Banias CPUs.
