3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andreas Herrmann <[email protected]>

commit 201bf0f129e1715a33568d1563d9a75b840ab4d3 upstream.

Due to CPB we can't directly map SW Pstates to Pstate MSRs. Get rid of
the paranoia check. (assuming that the ACPI Pstate information is
correct.)
