[CPUFREQ] Kconfig powernow-k8 driver should depend on ACPI P-States d…

powernow-k8 really needs to use ACPI to function on SMP systems.
The current Kconfig allows us to build kernels which fail mysteriously
for some users due to us trying to automatically enable this, and
getting it wrong.  It's easier to just present this as an option
to the user.

This provides access to the K8s Processor Performance States via ACPI.
This driver is probably required for CPUFreq to work with multi-socket and
SMP systems. It is not required on at least some single-socket yet
multi-core systems, even if SMP is enabled.

It is safe to say Y here.
