[CPUFREQ] Create a blacklist for processors that should not load the acpi-cpufreq module.
Create a blacklist for processors that should not load the acpi-cpufreq module. The initial entry in the blacklist function is the Intel 0f68 processor. It's specification update mentions errata AL30 which implies that cpufreq should not run on this processor.
