amd-pstate doesn't depend on SCHED_MC_PRIO, but ACPI_CPPC_LIB is only
selected when SCHED_MC_PRIO is selected. I guess the issue can be fixed
in a better way, but currently if one compiles the kernel with
CPU_SUP_AMD, but without CPU_SUP_INTEL, ends up with a non functional
amd-pstate. 

Not a problem for distro kernels I guess, but I was puzzled as I wasn't
getting amd-pstate even with a supported processor.
