[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.
