[CPUFREQ][4/8] acpi-cpufreq: Mark speedstep-centrino ACPI as deprecated
Mark ACPI hooks in speedstep-centrino as deprecated. Change the order in which speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq (when both are in kernel) will be added. First driver to be tried is now acpi-cpufreq, followed by speedstep-centrino. Add a note in feature-removal-schedule to mark this deprecation.

+ This is deprecated and this functionality is now merged into

+ speedstep_centrino.
Use primarily the information provided in the BIOS ACPI tables
to determine valid CPU frequency and voltage pairings. It is
required for the driver to work on non-Banias CPUs.
