FIE assumes the delivered/relative perf registers are fast to read so
it goes ahead and hits them quite frequently. On a couple of 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.
Lastly, allow the user to override this decision 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.
v2->v3:
	Tristate the module param so FIE can be forced on/off
	Bump pr_debug to pr_info if FIE is disabled due to PCC regions
	Switch ACPI_CPPC_CPUFREQ_FIE off by default
v3->v4:
	No functional change, resend due to email addr issues

v4->v5:
	Minor whitespace, comment wording, if/case conversion
	Drop the ACPI_CPPC_CPUFREQ_FIE disable config change added in v3
