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

---------------------------
+
+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.
