Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: Only evaluate the Intel _OSC and _PDC on platforms with HWP

The UUID 4077A616-290C-47BE-9EBD-D87058713953 and _PDC methods are
only used on Intel platforms with HWP support.

Attempting to evaluate them and showing messages on hardware without
HWP is pointless needlessly noisy.

Gate the code on X86_FEATURE_HWP.
