Oracle Sun X86 servers have dynamic power capping capability that works via
ACPI _PPC method etc, so skip loading this driver if Sun server has ACPI _PPC
enabled.

Does this apply to ALL oracle systems?

Is the presence or absense of the _PPC method configurable in the oracle BIOS?

Yes, as I know, all recent oracle x86 servers have power capping functions.

There is no option in BIOS to enable or disable _PPC. But they configure power limit
Functions via SP(service processors).

Thanks,
