[PATCH 2/2 v3] intel_pstate: add kernel parameter to enable loading on Sun X86 servers.

[Ethan Zhao <ethan.zhao@oracle.com>]

To force loading on Oracle Sun X86 servers, provide one kernel command line
parameter

  intel_pstate = onora

For those who be aware of the risk doing so.

 v2: change to hardware vendor specific naming parameter.
