The build of a PowerMac 32bit kernel currently fails with

error: #warning "WARNING, CPUFREQ not recommended on SMP kernels"

This patch just disables this driver on SMP kernels, as it is obviously
not supported.

Why not remove the #error instead ? :-) I don't think it's still
meaningful, especially since we use the timebase for delays nowadays
which doesn't depend on the CPU frequency...
