Currently, intel_pstate is unable to control P-states on my IvyBridge-based Acer Aspire S5, because they are controlled by SMM on that machine by default and it is necessary to request OS control of P-states from it via the SMI Command register exposed in the ACPI FADT. intel_pstate doesn't do that now, but acpi-cpufreq and other cpufreq drivers for x86 platforms do. Address this problem by making intel_pstate use the ACPI-defined mechanism as well. However, intel_pstate is not modular and it doesn't need the module refcount tricks played by acpi_processor_notify_smm(), so export the core of this function to it as acpi_processor_pstate_control() and make it call that. [The changes in processor_perflib.c related to this should not make any functional difference for the acpi_processor_notify_smm() users]. To be safe, only call acpi_processor_notify_smm() from intel_pstate if ACPI _PPC support is enabled in it.
