The boost attribute is exported to sysfs only when boost is supported
by the driver (as we had agreed earlier).  

The problem here is that the original acpi-cpufreq.c file had two
static flags:
static bool boost_enabled, boost_supported;

Both of them are not needed at acpi-cpufreq, since:
1. boost_enabled is defined at cpufreq.c core file.
2. boost_supported is defined at struct cpufreq_driver
(acpi_cpufreq_driver).

I've reused the boost_supported from acpi_cpufreq_driver structure to
avoid code duplication.
