I think this is going to make CONFIG_AMD_PSTATE depend on 
CONFIG_INTEL_PSTATE.  What you'll want to do is put these symbols in a 
"common" C file used by both.  How about in the cppc lib stuff?

Please make sure that you test compile/link of v9 both with 
CONFIG_AMD_PSTATE/CONFIG_INTEL_PSTATE set and either or set.
