The e_powersaver driver for VIA's C7 CPU's needs to be marked as
DANGEROUS as it configures the CPU to power states that are out
of specification.
According to Centaur, all systems with C7 and Nano CPU's support
the ACPI p-state method. Thus, the acpi-cpufreq driver should
be used instead.

powernow-k8 driver should always try to get cpufreq info from ACPI.
Otherwise it will not be able to detect the transition latency correctly
which results in ondemand governor taking a wrong sampling rate which will
then result in sever performance loss.
Let the user not shoot himself in the foot and always compile in ACPI
support for powernow-k8.
This also fixes a wrong message if ACPI_PROCESSOR is compiled as a module and
#ifndef CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR
path is chosen.

They were long enough set deprecated...
Update Documentation/cpu-freq/users-guide.txt:
The deprecated files listed there seen not to exist for some time anymore
already.

Merge the two Kconfig files to a single file.
Checked using make allmodconfig for x86_64.
No changes in build.
