[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
+          acpi_cpufreq (X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ). Use that driver instead of
+          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.
