ACPI: ACPI Exception (): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present

ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0677): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not
present [20060707]

According to the ACPI spec 6.3.7,
"If a device object (including the processor object) does not have an
_STA object, then OSPM assumes that all of the above bits are set,
(in other words, the device is present, enabled, shown in the UI
and funtioning)".

is_processor_present shoud return 1 if the processor device object exists
while it doesn't have an _STA object.
