It seems some VMs support the P state MSRs but return zeros. Fail
gracefully if we are running in this environment.

If cpufreq_register_driver() fails just free memory that has been
allocated and return. intel_pstate_exit() function is removed since we
are built-in only now there is no reason for a module exit procedure.

When intel_pstate is configured into the kernel it will become the
preferred scaling driver for processors that it supports. Allow the
user to override this by adding:
intel_pstate=disable
on the kernel command line.

Add a P-state driver for the Intel Sandy bridge processor. In cpufreq
terminology this driver implements a scaling driver with an internal
governor.
When built into the the kernel this driver will be the preferred
scaling driver for Sandy bridge processors.
In addition to the interfaces provided by the cpufreq subsystem for
controlling scaling drivers. The user may control the behavior of the
driver via three sysfs files located in
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate".
max_perf_pct: limits the maximum P state that will be requested by
the driver stated as a percentage of the avail performance.
min_perf_pct: limits the minimum P state that will be requested by
the driver stated as a percentage of the avail performance.
no_turbo: limits the driver to selecting P states below the turbo
frequency range.
