ACPI: add "processor.ignore_ppc" hook to workaround BIOS _PPC weirdness
There have been fixes using _PPC, which seem to unhide a problem
on HP nx6125 (double cpufreq switch freezes the machine for
several seconds).
This one should provide a workaround for the nx6125 and for
possible other machines that show any weird _PPC behaviour.
