    ACPI: Fix regression where _PPC is not read at boot even when ignore_ppc=0 · 455c0d71
    Darrick J. Wong authored
    Earlier, Ingo Molnar posted a patch to make it so that the kernel would avoid
    reading _PPC on his broken T60.  Unfortunately, it seems that with Thomas
    Renninger's patch last July to eliminate _PPC evaluations when the processor
    driver loads, the kernel never actually reads _PPC at all!  This is problematic
    if you happen to boot your non-T60 computer in a state where the BIOS _wants_
    _PPC to be something other than zero.
    
    So, put the _PPC evaluation back into acpi_processor_get_performance_info if
    ignore_ppc isn't 1.
